drag/hill brake
#1 DRAG/HILL BRAKE SETTINGS BLUE & YEL LEDs
Drag or Hill Drag is the amount of braking being applied while the trans-
mitter throttle is at neutral.
>> Increasing this setting makes the motor slow the vehicle
down more. You can adjust this setting to give the vehicle the
desired amount of creep down the incline when the transmit-
ter’s trigger is released.

dig power
#2 DIG POWER SETTINGS BLUE-GREEN-RED LEDs
Dig Power is the amount of braking or dig power being applied to lock
either the front or rear motor. Available in Profiles #1 and #2.
>> Increasing this setting applies more braking power to the
motor that the Dig function is telling to lock. By locking either
the front of rear motor, the vehicle is able to perform a “Dig”
maneuver that can allow you to navigate around obstacles or
perform a tighter turning radius by dragging the rear wheels.

dead band
#3 DEAD BAND SETTINGS BLUE & GREEN LEDs
Dead Band is the space between Minimum Brake and Minimum Drive,
with Neutral in the middle.
>> Increasing this setting increases the amount of ‘free play’, or dis-
tance your transmitter’s trigger must move before forward drive
or reverse begins.

minimum drive
#4 MINIMUM DRIVE SETTINGS YELLOW LED
Minimum Drive is the amount of forward drive that is applied to the motor
with first pulse of throttle information sent by the transmitter.
>> Increasing starts forward drive at a higher level. Minimizes
trigger throw required before effective drive is applied with
heavy vehicles.
Setting (# of flashes) 1 2 3 4 5
Minimum Drive (%): 2 3 5 8 12
DRIVE FREQUENCY
#5 DRIVE FREQUENCY SETTINGS GREEN & RED LEDs
Drive frequency is how the speed control’s throttle response feels with respect
to the transmitter’s throttle trigger input.
>> Increasing the Drive Frequency makes the throttle response
feel smoother and more controllable, similar to the way an ex-
ponential throttle curve feels.

voltage cut-off
#6 VOLTAGE CUT-OFF SELECTION YEL & RED LEDs
>> Changing this setting enables or disables the ESC’s Smart Stop
voltage cut-off circuitry, and also sets the voltage cut-off point
based on what type of batteries are being used in the vehicle’s
main battery pack.
DO NOT USE LiPo/LiFe BATTERIES WITH VOLTAGE CUT-OFF TURNED OFF
Setting (# of flashes) 1 2 3
