Available programming options
Programming function 1 = Driving Mode ("Running Mode"):
This is where you determine driving mode.
For the respective possible driving mode, see the information on the programming card accord-
ing to speed controller type (e.g. crawler).
1 = Only forward driving possible
2 = Forward and reverse driving possible (switching from forward to reverse driving does not
happen at once, but with a brief break, to protect the gear, wheels and battery capacity)
3 = Forward and reverse driving possible (switching from forward to reverse driving takes place
at once; this is optimal for crawler vehicles; at normal vehicles, this setting leads to increased
stress for gears, wheels and battery capacity)
Programming function 2 = Motor brake ("Drag Brake Force"):
If the throttle at the transmitter is moved to the neutral position from forwards driving, the motor
brake is activated. The function corresponds to the motor brake in a "real" car, if you take your
foot off of the throttle without stepping on the brake yet.
The motor brake can be programmed in various steps. The higher the value set, the stronger
the brake effect.
For the respective possible set values, see the information on the programming card
according to speed controller type (e.g. crawler).
Programming function 3 = Undervoltage recognition ("Low Voltage Cut-Off Threshold"):
Undervoltage detection is possible for models with LiPo and NiMH batteries. Activation of this
function is recommended specifically for LiPo batteries to prevent harmful deep discharge of
the rechargeable battery.
The set values refer to the voltage value per cell in LiPo batteries.
Example: A setting of 3 V means that a 2-cell LiPo battery would switch off the motor if 2 x 3 V
= 6 V is undercut.
If you are using an NiMH battery and a voltage of 9.0 to 12 V is recognised after activation of
the speed controller, the deactivation will take place as for a 3-cell LiPo battery. If a voltage
of less than 9 V is recognised, the speed controller will deactivate as in a 2-cell LiPo battery.
Example: If the speed controller recognises a battery voltage of 8.0 V and the deactivation volt-
age per cell is set to 2.6 V, the speed controller will switch off the motor when a battery voltage
of 5.2 V (2 x 2.6 V = 5.2 V) is reached.
For the respective possible set values, see the information on the programming card
according to speed controller type (e.g. crawler).
We recommend the set value of 3.2 V/cell for the LiPo battery.
For function of the undervoltage recognition, observe the operating instructions of the speed
controller. In general: If an undervoltage is recognised for 2 seconds during operation of the
speed controller, the output of the speed controller is reduced to 50%. After another 10 sec-
onds, the motor will be switched off. If the voltage per cell is less than 3.5 V in a LiPo recharge-
able battery the speed controller can no longer be activated. In this case, stop driving and
charge the rechargeable battery completely.
Programming function 4 = start-up dynamic ("Start-Mode (Punch)"):
This setting adjusts initial acceleration. The higher the set value, the more aggressively will the
motor react to the control commands at the transmitter. It is important that the rechargeable
battery can supply the current required for this (use a LiPo battery with a high C-rate).
If the motor "stutters" at the highest level of the start-up dynamics without the rechargeable
battery being flat (or while it has sufficient capacity), the gear transmission may need to be
changed. For the respective possible set values, see the information on the programming card
according to speed controller type (e.g. crawler).
Programming function 5 = Maximum brake force ("Max. Brake Force")
Here you can set the brake effect when moving the transmitter's control lever to reverse driv-
ing (or brake) to its end point from forward driving. The higher the value set, the stronger the
brake effect.
The higher the brake effect is set, the higher the stress on the gear and tyres. For
the respective possible set values, see the information on the programming card
according to speed controller type (e.g. crawler).
Operating Information
Please observe for onroad and offroad vehicles:
When switching between forward and reverse driving, the throttle lever must be put in neutral
position briefly (approx. 2 seconds). If the throttle lever is shifted directly from forwards to
reverse, the speed controller's brake will be activated (the vehicle will NOT go backwards!).
