esc software flow chart
This speed control features many
parameters that can be customized
to fine-tune the ESC’s feel &
response to your liking.
The flow chart below and the
adjustment steps to the right
describe the different parameters
and how they effect the ESC.
One-Touch Programming must be
completed before customization of
parameters, as all ESC parameters
are defaulted back to the factory
settings whenever the One-Touch
Programming is performed.
DEFAULT SETTINGS FOR
THE ESC PARAMETERS ARE
LISTED IN BOLD IN THE
TABLES TO THE RIGHT
TO CHANGE PARAMETER SETTINGS:
1. CONNECT THE ESC TO A
CHARGED BATTERY PACK,
RECEIVER, AND MOTOR’S
SENSOR HARNESS.
2. TURN ON TRANSMITTER.
3. SLIDE THE ESC’s ON/OFF
SWITCH TO ‘ON’ POSITION
4. WITH ESC AT NEUTRAL, PRESS
& HOLD SET BUTTON
Release ESC’s SET button once LEDs
are lit for the desired setting.
To skip a parameter, continue
to press & hold SET button until
desired parameter is reached.
5. SELECT PARAMETER VALUE
LED flashes to indicate active
setting (refer to tables at right).
Quick press & release SET button
to select desired setting.
6. PRESS & HOLD SET BUTTON
TO STORE NEW SELECTION
When SET button is pressed and
held for about 1 second, the
new selection is stored in ESC’s
memory—Status LEDs will scroll across
to indicate ESC is exiting programming
& ESC returns to neutral.
There is no time constraint during
selection of custom parameters.
drag brake
#1 DRAG BRAKE SETTINGS (1 of 10) BLUE LED
Amount of braking being applied while transmitter is at neutral. AKA ‘coast’ brakes.
>> Increasing this setting makes the motor slow down more without
pushing the transmitter’s trigger into the brake/reverse direction.
Setting (# of flashes) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Drag Brake (%): 0 3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 30
minimum brake
#2 MINIMUM BRAKE SETTINGS (1 of 10) YELLOW LED
Amount of braking applied with first pulse of transmitter braking information sent.
>> Increasing this setting starts the braking at a stronger level.
This is useful to compensate for heavier vehicles to minimize the
amount of trigger throw required before effective braking is applied.
Setting (# of flashes) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Minimum Brake (%): 0 3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 30
brake power
#3 BRAKE POWER SETTINGS (1 of 10) RED LED
>> This setting changes the maximum braking power at full brake throw.
Setting (# of flashes) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Drive Freq. (KHz) : 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100
DRIVE FREQUENCY
#4 DRIVE FREQUENCY SETTINGS (1 of 10) GREEN LED
How the ESC’s throttle response feels with respect to the transmitter’s trigger input.
>> Increasing the Drive Frequency makes the throttle response
feel smoother and more controllable.
Setting (# of flashes) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Drive Freq. (KHz) : 8 10 12 14 16 21 23 26 32 36
BRAKE FREQUENCY
#5 BRAKE FREQUENCY SETTINGS (1 of 10) WHITE LED
How the ESC’s braking response feels with respect to the transmitter’s trigger input.
>> Increasing Frequency makes the brakes feel smoother/more controllable.
