Please refer to the list of functions and parameters in the Appendix section to understand which parameters are affected by the Data Reset. -
Page 23: Circuit Mode Functions
Data Setting & Programming Circuit Mode Functions Circuit Mode contains the most commonly used programming features that you'll likely be changing on the circuit. Circuit Mode programming is laid out in 3 programming levels (Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced) that are accessed based on user's capability and the kind of functions requested for various surface models and for the racing conditions. -
Page 24: Response Sensitivity
Data Setting & Programming Response Sensitivity [Basic, Intermediate & Advanced Level] Also known as the Exponential adjustments, this function is used to change the sensitivity of the steering and throttle servos around the neutral position. It has no effect on the maximum servo travels. For the throttle servo, the function changes the sensitivity of the throttle servo in the throttle trigger forward side and brake side directions independently. -
Page 25: Start Rate
Data Setting & Programming Start Rate [Intermediate & Advanced Level] This feature allows for smooth and even acceleration under adverse conditions, such as slippery circuit. When the start function is activated, merely operating the throttle trigger passing the preset Trigger point causes the throttle servo to automatically operate at programmed Start rate. -

Data Setting & Programming 2-Step Steering Speed (Servo Speed) [Advanced Level] This feature becomes available under the heading of Servo Speed when the programming level in the Pit Mode is set to Advanced. 2-Step Steering Speed is similar to the Steering Speed found under the Intermediate Level, But it adds speed change points. -
Page 28: 2-Step Throttle Speed
Data Setting & Programming 2-Step Throttle Speed (Servo Speed) [Advanced Level] This feature becomes available under the heading of Servo Speed when the programming level in the Pit Mode is set to Advanced. 2-Step Throttle Speed is similar to the Throttle Speed found under the Intermediate Level, but it has speed change points. -
Page 29: Anti-Lock Braking System (Abs)
Data Setting & Programming Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) [Advanced Level] This advanced anti-lock braking system is featured when the programming level is set to Advanced Level. ABS works as a pulse brake, allowing greater stability and control during hard braking. The pulse width ("on" time versus "off" time) is called duty, the pulse height (how hard the brakes pulse) is called width, and the braking point where ABS actually begins is called position. -
Page 30: Steering Speed Based On Throttle Position (Sst)
Data Setting & Programming Steering-Speed based on Throttle position (SST) [Advanced Level] This function is available when the programming level is set to Advanced Level. SST is similar to the 2-Step Steering Speed function, but the steering speed is automatically adjusted based on the position of the throttle trigger. This function is particularly useful when you want to a have sensitive steering at corners (low trigger position) and a less sensitive steering on straightaway (high trigger position). -
