#1 MINIMUM BRAKE SETTINGS (1 of 10)
Amount of braking applied with the first pulse of transmitter throttle information sent.

level. This is useful to compensate for heavier vehicles to minimize the
amount of trigger throw required before effective braking is applied.

TIMING level
#4 TIMING LEVEL SETTINGS (1 of 8) GREEN-RED-WHITE LEDs

motor timing that is applied to the motor throughout the throttle band.

WARNING: DO NOT FREE-REV MOTOR TO CHECK TIMING SETTINGS
*Timing Levels 6-8 produce excessive heating & must be used with caution.
Note: Do NOT use Timing Advance with 3.5-5.5 turn 540-Size motors.

TIMING SET POINT

dead band
BLUE LED #6 DEAD BAND SETTINGS (1 of 5)
The space between Minimum Brake and Minimum Drive, with Neutral in the middle.
>> Increasing this setting increases the amount of 'free play', or distance
your transmitter's trigger must move before actual forward drive or
braking begins. This is useful for transmitters whose triggers do not
center accurately or have worn trigger pots.

THROTTLE CURVE
#7 THROTTLE CURVE SELECTION (1 of 2)
How the ESC's throttle (or forward drive) responds to the transmitter's trigger input.

transmitter's trigger movement. The 'Expo' curve gives a less responsive,

BRAKE END POINT
#10 BRAKE END PT. SELECTION (1 of 10)
The percentage of the ESC's braking power that can be attained as well as the
transmitter trigger throw required to reach that power.
>> Decreasing this setting reduces the maximum braking power and the
usable distance of the transmitter's brake trigger throw. The 'Linear' or
'Expo' brake curves will be cut off at this point, and you will get that
percentage/level of braking for the rest of the transmitter's trigger throw.

activated, slowly rotate the motor's output/pinion shaft and the
appropriate LED will light up if a signal is received for its sensor in
the motor. Refer to 'MOTOR HALL SENSOR TEST' section.
