Initial Acceleration - Hobby King X-Car 120A User Manual

120A/150A ESC
● Normal (Default) Good mix of power and efficiency using any motor
● High More power than efficiency so run time will reduce, and you should be monitoring
motor heat. The higher KV or lower turn motors will generate heat quickly using this setting. A
safe high temperature range is 165F to 180F (74° - 82° Celsius), going higher may damage your
motor.
● Very high This is maximum power and must be used with caution.
Note : Any motor has the potential to over-heat in this setting. Frequently check the motor
temperature and make sure you're not operating higher than 165° and 180° Fahrenheit (74° -
82° Celsius), which may damage your motor, or damage your Electronic Speed Controller
(ESC).

4. Initial Acceleration

Use this to limit the initial power that is sent to the motor when starting from a complete stop.
Using the low option, the vehicle will launch very slowly and provide the longest run times.
When using the HIGH choice, you will have wheel-spinning acceleration at the cost of run time.
This is also very tough on the batteries as the amperage draw can be very high. If your vehicle
cuts out, hesitates or loses radio control, you should consider setting this at a lower value.
● Low Using this option will provide longer run times and is easiest on the batteries. It is a good
choice for beginners.
