Motor Timing - Hobby King X-Car 120A User Manual

to operate.
Note: There is automatic protection within the X-Car ESC. Only after you have stopped and
returned the trigger to neutral will reverse become available. If while traveling in reverse, pull
the trigger to go forward. This is to help prevent serious damage to the drive train.
● Forward / Reverse
If the option is activated, the RC car could go forward and backward, but couldn`t brake.
ESC – reverse operation
Should you get into a situation that requires reverse, after you have applied any brakes you may
have needed, return the throttle trigger to the neutral position. Wait a moment or two and then push
the trigger forward for reverse.

3. Motor Timing

This option affects the power band and efficiency (run time) of an electric motor. The default is
"Normal" and is a good starting point to deliver power and provide good run time.
● Very Low Provides maximum efficiency with less power. Higher timing produces
significantly more power but at the expense of efficiency (less run time) and typically the motor
will generate more heat. Each brushless motor will respond to timing differently. Good for
running around on paved, or harder surfaces, and racing with high KV rated or low-turn motors
● Low Provides power for running through soft surfaces, having fun and longer run time.
