Adjusting Electronic Speed Control - Traxxas E-Maxx Brushless Edition 3908L Owner's Manual

ADJUSTING THE ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL
The Castle Creations Mamba Monster speed control should
not need reprogramming with normal use. However, if you
install a different radio system in your model, or change the
transmitter's throttle-neutral setting from 50/50 to 70/30, you will
need to reprogram the speed control. Follow these instructions to
reprogram the speed control:
1. Install the batteries of your choice in the battery compartments
and plug the batteries into the speed control.
2. Switch on your transmitter.
3. Hold full throttle while you switch on the Mamba Monster
controller. After a few seconds, you will hear multiple tones and
the RED LED will light.
4. Hold full brake. After a few seconds, you will hear multiple tones
and the YELLOW LED will light.
5. Release the trigger to the neutral position. After a few seconds,
you will hear multiple tones and ALL THE LEDs will light.
6. Wait a few more seconds for the speed control to 'arm,' indicated
by a double-tone. You are now ready to drive.
Disconnect Batteries After Use
Always disconnect the batteries from the speed control when
you are finished using your vehicle. The switch on the speed
control only shuts off power to the receiver and servos. The speed
control continues to draw power as long as it is plugged in and
may over-discharge your batteries if they are left connected to the
speed control.
ATTENTION! LiPo Battery Users
The E-Maxx Brushless Edition is programmed at the factory for use
with LiPo batteries. Your model will run properly with NiMH batteries.
To obtain the maximum performance from the included batteries
download the Mamba Monster manual at castlecreations.com for
instructions on de-activating the LiPo voltage cut off. If LiPo batteries
are used be sure to reset the Mamba Monster to the correct LiPo cutoff
voltage for your batteries. Failure to properly reset the Cutoff Voltage
may lead to damage or failure of your LiPo batteries. Never use LiPo
batteries while Low-Voltage Detection is disabled.
