【PROGRAM THE ESC】
1. Program Method
Note:
 In the program process, the motor will emit “Beep” tone at the same time when the LED is flashing.
 If the “N” is bigger than the number “5”, we use a long time flash and long “Beep---” tone to represent
“5”, so it is easy to identify the items of the big number.
For example, if the LED flashes as the following:
“A long time flash + a short time flash” (Motor sounds “Beep---Beep”) = the No. 6 item
“A long time flash + 2 short time flash” (Motor sounds “Beep---BeepBeep”) = the No. 7 item
“A long time flash + 3 short time flash” (Motor sounds “Beep---BeepBeepBeep”) = the No. 8 item
……
And so on.
2. Programmable Items list
Attention: The italics texts in the above form are the default settings.
3. Programmable Values
3.1. Running Mode: With “Forward with Brake” mode, the car can go forward and brake, but cannot go backward,
this mode is suitable for competition; “Forward/Reverse with Brake” mode provides backward function, which is
suitable for training. The “Rock Crawler” mode is only used for rock crawler.
Note: “Forward/Reverse with Brake” mode uses “Double-Click” method to make the car go backward.
When you move the throttle stick from forward zone to backward zone for the first time, the ESC begins to brake
the motor, the motor speeds down but it is still running, not completely stopped, so the backward action is NOT
happened now. When the throttle stick is moved to the backward zone again (The 2
nd “click”), if the motor speed is
slowed down to zero (i.e. stopped), the backward action will be occurred. The “Double-Click” method can prevent
mistakenly reverse when the brake function is frequently used in steering.
With “Rock Crawler” mode, the reverse action will be happened immediately when the throttle stick is moved to
backward zone. Please set the “Drag Brake Force” to 100% if you choose the “Rock Crawler” mode.
3.2. Drag Brake Force: Set the amount of drag brake applied at neutral throttle to simulate the slight braking effect
of a neutral brushed motor while coasting.
3.3. Low Voltage Cut-Off: The function is mainly to prevent the lithium battery pack from over discharging. When
using lithium battery pack, please set the suitable value for low-voltage protection as your like. The ESC monitors
the battery
’s voltage at any time, if the voltage is lower than the threshold, the output power will be reduced to 50%
in 2 seconds. Please drive and stop the car at the side of the racing track as soon as possible, the ESC will
completely cut off the output power in 10 seconds.
3.4. Start Mode (Also called “Punch”): Select from “Level1 (Soft)” to “Level 9 (Very aggressive)” start mode as
your like. Please note that if you choose “Level 7” to “Level 9”, you’d better use good quality battery pack with
powerful discharge ability, otherwise these modes cannot get the bursting start effect as you want. If the motor
cannot run smoothly (the motor is trembling), it may caused by the weak discharge ability of the battery pack,
please choose a better battery or increase the gear rate.
3.5. Maximum Brake Force: The ESC provides proportional brake function. The brake force is related to the
position of the throttle stick. Maximum brake force refers to the force when the throttle stick is located at the top
point of the backward zone. A very large brake force can shorten the brake time, but it may damage the gears.
3.6. Maximum Reverse Force: Sets how much power will be applied in the reverse direction. Different value
makes different reverse speed.
3.7. Initial Brake Force: It is also called “minimum brake force”, and it refers to the force when the throttle stick is
located at the initial position of the backward zone. The default value is equal to the drag brake force, so the brake
effect can be very smooth.
