b) Programming the Special Functions

The speed controller is already programmed in the factory with the best pre-settings. No changes should
be made for the first attempts at driving.
The drive control unit has many different programming options, e.g. adjustment of the braking strength, a low-voltage
protection function for LiPo rechargeable batteries, a motor brake function and many others.
We would like to explain the function of the programming using the following example of how to set the motor-brake
function.
A conventional electric motor (with brushes/carbon) already develops a certain degree of motor-braking
strength due to the magnets it contains – this is much weaker in brushless motors.
If you reduce the throttle at the transmitter or move back the throttle/brake lever into the neutral position,
the vehicle will slow down automatically. The effect is thus exactly like that of the motor-braking function in
a "real" car when you release the accelerator without stepping on the brake pedal.
The speed controller is programmed with, for example, "10%". In the following example, this value is to be changed to
"40%"
For this purpose, proceed as follows:
• Turn off the speed controller (switch to "OFF"; for switch position, see figure in chapter 8. e).
• The remote control transmitter must be activated/must remain switched on (don't switch it off!). The throttle/braking
lever also has to be in neutral position (release lever, do not move it).
• Hold down the small button on the speed controller unit (see arrow in the
picture to the right); then switch the speed controller unit on (do not release
the button, keep it held down!).
Do not use any force when holding the button down. Otherwise
the button may break; you will void your guarantee!
• The red LED on the side of the drive control unit flashes. Continue to
press and hold the setup button. Don't release it!
• The red LED stops flashing and the green LED begins to flash (continue
to press and hold the setup button. Don't release it!).
Depending on the flash signal given by the green LED, the speed controller unit is in a corresponding
settings menu. At the same time as the flash signal emitted by the green LED, the motor emits a
corresponding beep tone.
The beep tone is generated because the brushless motor is activated for a moment. Depending on the
motor, this beep may be very low or inaudible. In this case, observe the LED on the speed controller.
• Staying with the example of setting the motor brake function - release the set-up button at the exact time when the
green LED flashes twice briefly.
The red speed controller LED flashes to indicate the value currently set for the motor brake function.
