1.Running Mode:
●For ward with brake : only for ward, reverse throttle is brake, no Reverse, it's mainly used for racing.
“Set” ●For ward and reverse with brake : with reverse function, when push throttle from for ward to reverse area, RC car is in the brake state and throttle.
must be back to the middle point. RC car will reverse when motor stops rotating .This mode is used for practice.

ESC ●For ward and reverse : Push throttle from middle point to reverse area, motor will rotate reverse immediately. This mode is used for rock crawler.

2.Fixed Area Accelerator : 6% 9% 12% ,choose as personal preference .
3.Initial Brake Force:the brake force on motor when brake is in the initial position of throttle.
4.Low Voltage Protection :To protect battery damage from over discharging .ESC will monitor battery voltage during running process, once voltage is
Gear lower than set value, it will cut off motoroutput.
Switch 5.Star t Mode(Punch):9 level, default is 6 level, choose the appropriate acceleration according to the field and personal preference. The higher level,

the faster the star t acceleration , but high demand for battery discharging ability( it will cause abnormal star t when battery capacity isn't enough ).
6 PWM :Working frequency ,8KHz、12KHz,choose the appropriate working frequency according to the features of motor and battery.
04 Operation Instruction 7.Max Reverse Force :4 options : 25% 50% 75% 100% , different option with different force. Recommend to use the smaller options, to avoid crashing
for the force is too heavy when back up.
8.Max Brake Force :ESC with potential brake the max. brake force is that the brake force when push throttle stick to the brake limit point. Choose the
appropriate brake force according to personal preference and specific situation
1 Connect all the equipments as the wiring diagram, and go to next step. 9.Drag Brake Force :Push throttle stick from for ward area to middle point,produce brake force for motor,it's easy for slowing down.star ting the turns.
Note: We strongly advise the use of battery connections that do not allow reverse polarity , or ESC will be damaged. 10.Timing : Options :0° ,3.75° ,7.5° ,11.25° ,15°(default) ,18.75° ,22.5° ,26.25° ,Purpose are:
Please disconnect the battery and ESC , if not use for a long time to avoid damaging battery and accidents. ● Compatible with different types motor. If not work with default timing , please change the appropriate timing.
● Change motor Max.RPM by changing timing. Timing is higher , output RPM is faster, power consumption is bigger.
● Make motor work in the best efficiency point by changing timing.
2 Set throttle range ( refer the setting process of throttle range)
● Auto timing can change timing between 0°and 30°automatically .
First time to use remote control transmitter or change the parameters ,like throttle middle point, ATL, EPA , throttle range will be set again. 11.Motor Direction Adjustment :Change motor rotation direction with this option.
Remote control transmitter ABS must be set as “OFF”, set throttle channel direction as “REV”, set throttle trim as “0”, EPA/ATL clockwise and 12.Over heat Protection :ESC or motor temperature is very high ( over 95°), this option decides if cut off the motor output, default is protection.
anticlockwise direction of throttle channel are set as 100% ( Max.), or it may cause no work or misoperation. 13.Lipo Cells: Auto : count Lipo cells automatically; 2S,3S :choose the corresponding values according to battery cells number.

06 Programming 2 Programming with Program Card.

It's the easiest way to set with programming card. Operation is as following: insert signal wire to the interface in programming card , select
1 Programming with set button in the switch. the options that you want ( see in the above chart), press【OK】,after VALUE screen displaying “S”, this option sets successfully .
If want to reset the option to factory setting, please press 【RESET】, then press【OK】.
Note: ● Motor will emit “BEEP” when indicator light flashes.
● When N>=5, indicator light will flash for a long time ( with long tone ) to represent 5 .For example, ESC red indicator flashes for a long time (Please see the instruction of program card for more detail)
once ( motor emits long tone “BEEP---” at the same time) , shows that enter the 5th set option. If ESC green indicator flashes for a long time
once then for a short time once ( motor emits long “ BEEP---” once and short “BEEP” once at the same time), shows that it enters the 6th set
option. And the like, the 7th set option “BEEP---BEEP,BEEP,BEEP”, the 8th set option “ BEEP---BEEP,BEEP,BEEP”.
