DEScRIPTIONS
1. Running mode
- Forward Only with Brake
Intended for competition use, this mode allows only forward and brake controls.
- Forward/Reverse with Brake
This mode is the basic all-around mode, allowing forward, reverse and brake controls.
To engage reverse while moving forward, apply the brake until the vehicle has come to
a complete stop, release brake, then apply the brake again. While braking or in reverse,
engaging the throttle will result in the vehicle immediately accelerating forward.
NOTIcE: Do not use this mode with car types other than Rock Crawlers as this
mode can overload and/or damage the ESC.
2. Drag Brake Force
Adjusts the amount of brake automatically applied when the throttle is returned to the
neutral position. This simulates the engine braking effect of a full-scale vehicle, allowing
improved turn-in and your vehicle’s general response to controls.
3. Low Voltage cutoff
This function helps to prevent battery over-discharge. The ESC continuously monitors the
battery’s voltage. If the voltage falls below the voltage threshold for 2 seconds, the output
power shuts off and the red LED flashes twice repeatedly.
The cutoff threshold calculation is based on individual Li-Po cell voltage. For Ni-MH batter-
ies, if the voltage battery pack is higher than 9.0V, it will be treated as a 3-cell Li-Po bat-
tery pack; if it is lower than 9.0V, it will be treated as a 2-cell Li-Po battery pack. Example:
for a 8.0V Ni-MH battery pack used with a 2.6V/cell threshold, it will be treated as a
2-cell Li-Po battery pack and the low-voltage cut-off threshold will be 5.2V (2.6x2=5.2).
Using the optional Digital Program Box (DYN3748), you can adjust the custom values
for the cutoff threshold. Unlike the preset values, custom cutoff values are for the
total battery voltage, not individual cell voltage.
4. Start mode (Punch)
Sets the initial throttle punch when the car accelerates. Level 1 gives a very soft initial accelera-
tion and level 9 gives a very strong initial acceleration. When using levels 7, 8 or 9, you must
use high-power batteries. With low power batteries, the battery could overload and result in
poor performance or unexpected results.
5. max Brake Force
Adjusts the maximum braking force. A higher value provides stronger braking,
but can also cause the wheels to lock, resulting in loss of control of the car.
6. max Reverse Force
This parameter adjusts the maximum power when travelling in reverse.
7. Initial Brake Force (minimum brake)
Adjusts the minimum amount of braking power when the brakes engage. The default
value is equal to the drag brake value. A high value can lock the wheels when the brake
is used.
8. Neutral Range
Adjusts the throttle sensitivity around the neutral point. A higher value results in the
throttle having to be moved more for the vehicle to move forward, backward or brake.
9. Timing
Adjusts the motor drive current timing. More timing gives more performance, but can
lower efficiency and cause damage to the motor and/or ESC by overload or overheating.
NOTIcE: Always ensure the motor timing is set correctly. Failure to set the
motor timing correctly can result in damage to the motor and ESC. Refer
to the manufacturer instructions for recommended timing settings.
The Following Programmable Items require the optional Digital ESc Program Box:
10 and 11.
Available Items are subject to firmware updates to the ESC and the optional digital program
box.
12. motor Rotation
Lets you make this change in the ESC so no wires need to be changed between
the ESC and the motor.
13. Li-Po cells
Allows the ESC to automatically detect or manually set the number of cells
in your Li-Po battery back.
The black-shaded setting is the factory default.
