ESC PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE
Programming is accomplished using the SET button on the ON/OFF switch.
1. Connect a fully charged battery to the ESC.
2. Power ON the ESC using the ESC switch.
3. Press and hold the SET button for 3 seconds until the green LED flashes, then release the
SET button.
4. Press the SET button once until the green LED blinks once in sequence, indicating program-
mable value 1 is currently selected.
Tip: Pressing the setup button once more moves to programmable value 2, etc. until the
desired programmable value is reached. The system continues in a 'loop'.

6 Punch
DESCRIPTIONS
1. Running Mode
- Forward Only with Brake
Intended for competition use, this mode allows only forward and brake controls.
- Forward/Reverse with Brake
This mode is the basic all-around mode, allowing forward, reverse and brake controls.
To engage reverse while moving forward, apply the brake until the vehicle has come to
a complete stop, release brake, then apply the brake again. While braking or in reverse,
engaging the throttle will result in the vehicle immediately accelerating forward.
2. Drag Brake Force
Adjusts the amount of brake automatically applied when the throttle is returned to the
neutral position. This simulates the engine braking effect of a full-scale vehicle, allowing
improved turn-in and your vehicle's general response to controls.
3. Low Voltage Cutoff
This function helps to prevent battery over-discharge. The ESC continuously monitors the
battery's voltage. If the voltage falls below the voltage threshold for 2 seconds, the output
power shuts off and the red LED flashes twice repeatedly.
The cutoff threshold calculation is based on individual Li-Po cell voltage. For Ni-MH batteries,
if the voltage battery pack is higher than 9.0V, it will be treated as a 3-cell Li-Po battery
pack; if it is lower than 9.0V, it will be treated as a 2-cell Li-Po battery pack. Example: for a
8.0V Ni-MH battery pack used with a 2.6V/cell threshold, it will be treated as a 2-cell Li-Po
battery pack and the low-voltage cut-off threshold will be 5.2V (2.6 x 2=5.2).

5. When at the desired menu item, hold the SET button for 3 seconds until the red LED blinks.
Tip: The RED flashing sequence indicates the actual setting; for example one flash
indicates value 1 is selected, two flashes indicates value 2, etc..
6. Press the setup button in sequence to select the desired programmable value. The system
continues in a "loop."
7. Save the setting by holding the SET button for 3 seconds. The ESC beeps once.
8. Power OFF the ESC then immediately power it ON. The setting change is stored.
Tip: Only one setting can be stored/saved at a time.

4. Start Mode
Sets the initial throttle punch when the car accelerates. Level 1 gives
a very soft initial acceleration and Level 4 gives a stronger initial acceleration.
5. Max Brake Force
Adjusts the maximum braking force. A higher value provides stronger braking,
but can also cause the wheels to lock, resulting in loss of control of the car.
6. Punch
Select from start mode Level 1 (Soft) to Level 9 (Very aggressive). If you choose Levels
7–9, use a high quality battery pack with powerful discharge ability. Without a high
quality battery pack, the modes will not give a bursting start effect. If the motor does not
run smoothly (i.e., trembling), choose a better battery or increase the gear rate.
