Programming Menu 2 —Brake Type
The default setting is Brake Off. This option gives you
the choice to have the ESC stop the propeller during
flight (Brake On) or allow it to windmill (Brake Off). Use
the Brake On options for folding propellers.
1. Move the stick to center (between 1.4 and 1.6ms)
for 5 seconds, and the controller will beep 2 times,
indicating you are now in Menu 2.
2. Move the throttle stick to full throttle (>1.7ms)
position to make changes to the Brake Type
programming.

seconds to advance to the next selection.
d. To select Hard Brake – You will hear 4 short
beeps. Move the throttle stick to center (be-
tween 1.4 and 1.6ms). The controller will beep
2 times, indicating you have set the program
selection or leave in full throttle for 5 seconds to
advance to the first selection again.
Programming Menu 3—Timing
The default setting is 15 degrees. As a general rule,
lower pole count motors use lower timing and higher
pole count motors use higher timing. Please refer to
your motor instructions and specifications for an
indication of the number of poles.
Low Timing Advance
Timing Degrees – 5 & 10
Motor Poles – 2 to 4
Expected Performance – Good balance of power and
efficiency
Motor Poles – 6 or more
Expected Performance – Best efficiency and run time
(lowest power)
Standard Timing Advance
Timing Degrees – 15 & 20
Motor Poles – 6 to 12
Expected Performance – Good balance of power and
efficiency
Motor Poles – 14 or more
Expected Performance – Best efficiency and run time
(lowest power)
High Timing Advance
Timing Degrees – 25
Motor Poles – 12
Expected Performance – Highest power, less efficiency
Motor Poles – 14 or more
Expected Performance – Good balance of power and
efficiency
1. Move the stick to center (between 1.4 and 1.6ms)
for 5 seconds, and the controller will beep 3
times, indicating you are now in Menu 3.
2. Move the throttle stick to full throttle (>1.7ms)
position to make changes to the Timing
programming.
a. To select 5 Degrees – You will hear 1 short
beep. Movethe throttle stick to center
(between 1.4 and 1.6ms). The controller will
beep 2 times, indicating you have set the
program selection or leave in full throttle for
5 seconds to advance to the next selection.
b. To select 10 Degrees – You will hear 2 short
beeps. Move the throttle stick to center
(between 1.4 and 1.6ms). The controller will
beep 2 times, indicating you have set the

5 seconds to advance to the next selection.
c. To select 15 Degrees – You will hear 3 short
beeps. Move the throttle stick to center
(between 1.4 and 1.6ms). The controller will
beep 2 times, indicating you have set the
program selection or leave in full throttle for
5 seconds to advance to the next selection.
d. To select 20 Degrees – You will hear 4 short
beeps. Move the throttle stick to center
(between 1.4 and 1.6ms). The controller will
beep 2 times, indicating you have set the
program selection or leave in full throttle for
5 seconds to advance to the next selection.
e. To select 25 Degrees – You will hear 5 short
beeps. Move the throttle stick to center
(between 1.4 and 1.6ms). The controller will
beep 2 times, indicating you have set the
program selection or leave in full throttle for
5 seconds to advance to the first
selection again.
Programming Menu 4—Throttle Input
Range (PWM)
The default setting is 1.2ms to 1.8ms and should work
with most radio systems. This option allows for proper
throttle input with many different radio systems. How-
ever, some radios have a wider output range, and may
give a more linear response with the 1.1ms to 1.9ms
range. If you feel there is too much “dead” area in the
stick movement near full throttle, try adjusting the end
points in your radio, or change to the wider input range.
Be aware that if these settings are not correct, it may
be impossible to arm the controller.
1. Move the stick to center (between 1.4 and 1.6ms)
for 5 seconds, and the controller will beep 4
times, indicating you are now in Menu 4.
2. Move the throttle stick to full throttle (>1.7ms)
position to make changes to the Throttle Input
Range programming.
a. To select 1.2ms to 1.8ms – You will hear 1
short beep. Move the throttle stick to center
(between 1.4 and 1.6ms). The controller will
beep 2 times, indicating you have set the
program selection or leave in full throttle for
5 seconds to advance to the next selection.
b. To select 1.1ms to 1.9ms – You will hear 2
short beeps. Move the throttle stick to center
(between 1.4 and 1.6ms). The controller will
beep 2 times, indicating you have set the
program selection or leave in full throttle for 5
seconds to advance to the first
selection again.
Programming Menu 5—Start-Up Rate
The default setting is 0.25 seconds. The start-up rate
is the time it takes to reach maximum motor speed.
Changing the setting to 1 second can be useful with
power-fragile gear boxes.
1. Move the stick to center (between 1.4 and 1.6ms)
for 5 seconds, and the controller will beep 5
times, indicating you are now in Menu 3.
2. Move the throttle stick to full throttle (>1.7ms)
position to make changes to the Start-up Rate
programming.
a. To select .25 second – You will hear 1 short
beep. Move the throttle stick to center
(between 1.4 and 1.6ms). The controller will
beep 2 times, indicating you have set the
program selection or leave in full throttle for
5 seconds to advance to the next selection.
b. To select 1 second – You will hear 2 short
beeps. Move the throttle stick to center
(between 1.4 and 1.6ms). The controller will
beep 2 times, indicating you have set the
program selection or leave in full throttle for 5
seconds to advance to the first
selection again.
Programming Menu 6 —PWM Switching
Frequency
The default setting is 8KHz, which should be acceptable
for most motors. If you have a low or very low induc-
tance motor and know you need to use a higher PWM
Frequency (refer to the manual included with the motor),
then you can change the setting. Otherwise, we recom-
mend leaving the default setting.
1. Move the stick to center (between 1.4 and 1.6ms)
for 5 seconds, and the controller will beep 6
times, indicating you are now in Menu 6.
2. Move the throttle stick to full throttle (>1.7ms)
position to make changes to the PWM Switching
Frequency programming.
a. To select 8KHz PWM Frequency – You will
hear 1 short beep. Move the throttle stick
to center (between 1.4 and 1.6ms). The
controller will beep 2 times, indicating you
have set the program selection or leave in full
throttle for 5 seconds to advance to the
next selection.
b. To select 16KHz PWM Frequency – You will
hear 2 short beeps. Move the throttle stick
to center (between 1.4 and 1.6ms). The
controller will beep 2 times, indicating you
have set the program selection or leave in
full throttle for 5 seconds to advance to the

c. To select 32KHz PWM Frequency – You will
hear 3 short beeps. Move the throttle stick
to center (between 1.4 and 1.6ms). The
controller will beep 2 times, indicating you
