6. RADIO / SPEED-CONTROL SET-UP
In setup mode the LRP SPX SUPER REVERSE stores every step when you press the SET button. All the settings will
be stored in the speed-controls memory even if the speed-control will be disconnected from the battery.
TRANSMITTER SETTINGS
Setup the following basic functions on your transmitter (if available):
Throttle travel High ATV, EPA
Brake travel Low ATV, EPA, ATL
Throttle exponential EXP, EXPO
Neutral trim SUB Trim
Servo reverse Throttle reverse
If your transmitter doesn't offer any of above functions, it's already in „basic setup" mode.
• Ensure that the speed-control is not connected to the drive battery and is switched off.
• Remove motor pinion or ensure that the wheels of the model are free to rotate.
• Switch the transmitter on and set the transmitter throttle stick to neutral.
• Connect the speed-control to the battery, and switch the unit on.
• Hold the SET button pressed for at least 3sec using the supplied plastic screwdriver.
You entered setup mode and the SET LED flashes red (it will flash until the setup is completed).
• Leave transmitter in neutral position and press the SET button once.
Neutral setting is stored , MODE LED flashes green and the motor beeps.
• Hold full throttle on transmitter and press the SET button once.
Full-throttle setting is stored, MODE LED flashes red.
• Hold full reverse on transmitter and press the SET button once.
Reverse setting is stored, LED's glow red (MODE) and red (SET).
• This completes the setup procedure and your LRP SPX SUPER REVERSE is ready to use.
• If you make a mistake during the setup procedure, don't worry: Disconnect the battery for about 10sec and
start again from the first step.
• At the end of each run switch of the car, and then switch off the transmitter.
• At the start of each run switch on the transmitter first, then switch on the car.
• For storage of the car, disconnect the drive battery at any time!
CHECKING THE FUNCTIONS:
Check the LED's when moving your throttle stick and you will see if everything is setup correctly.

7. MODE PROGRAMMING
All modes are available for brushless and brushed motors (speedo adapts automatically). The LRP SPX SUPER
REVERSE features 4 modes which enable you to adjust it to YOUR special requirements. The factory settings
are shown in grey colour.
• How to get into „programming the modes"
• How to check the stored values
• How to change the value
• How to get to the next Mode
• How to leave the programming mode
• Table of settings, values and modes: see below (grey-shaded values show „works default settings")
MODE.1 - AutoCell SYSTEM
we recommend using value 2 for 4-6 cells NiMH racing purposes, which disengages the LiPo protection.
MODE LED Value 1 Value 2
LiPo NiMH
Green
Mode Racing Mode
MODE.2 - FORWARD/BRAKE/REVERSE - FORWARD/BRAKE
the LRP SPX SUPER REVERSE contains 4 speed-controls in 1! Brushless or brushed it adapts automatically
and here you can select between forward/brake/reverse and forward/brake „racing style" operation.
MODE LED Value 1 Value 2
Forward Forward

Reverse Brake
MODE.3 - POWER PROFILES
allows you to adjust the LRP SPX SUPER REVERSE to your likes. Either you run on slippery or high-traction
surfaces, we have incorporated a profile for you!
Higher value means more overall power and more aggressive throttle response.
MODE LED Value 1 Value 2 Value 3
Green/Red
Smooth Linear Progressive
(alternate)
MODE.4 - AUTO-/DRAGBRAKE
allows you to set a slight braking action which is applied in the neutral range. This enables you to simulate the
feel of a brushed motor and also hold the throttle on longer when entering a turn. Your car also has more front
traction with this setting.
For brushless motors you achieve the same natural slowdown as a brushed motor with no autobrake when
you set value 1-2 (for motors with bonded magnets) or 0-1 (for motors with sintered magnets).

8. SPECIAL FEATURES
Internal-Temp-Check System:
the LRP SPX SUPER REVERSE allows you to read-out the maximum inter-
nal temperature that the speedo reached. To save it to the memory you have to briefly apply brakes after the run
before you turn the switch off. You can convienently read-out the temperature back in the pits since it remains
stored until you turn it on the next time regularly (which will reset the memory). This new feature allows you to
accurately check if all is running well or if you're close to shutdown already.
How to read-out the temperature:
Switch at „OFF" position.
Keep MODE button pressed while you turn switch to „ON" (then release button)
SET LED will start to flash red (MODE LED is off), now count the number of flashes.
Basics:
• Thermal shutdown of the speedo would occur at 6 flashes.
• The higher the number of flashes, the cooler the speedo ran (e.g. the better it is!)
• Every flash equals to ~8°C temperature decrease
Example:
you count 10 flashes after the run
10 - 6 = 4 (e.g. 4 flashes „away" from shutdown)
4 x 8°C = 32°C (e.g. you are 32°C away from thermal shutdown and therefore safe!)
AutoCell System:
Ready for the next battery technology – LiPo batteries! LRP's exclusive and smart
AutoCell System ensures that LiPo batteries can be used safely without accidentially deep-discharging of
the cells. The motor function will be shut-off and the SET LED will flash if the system recognises very low
battery voltage.
TIP: We recommend using value 2 for 4-6 cells NiMH racing purposes, which disengages the LiPo protection.
Automatic Brushless / Brushed Adaption:
on detects the connected motor type during turn-on/initialisation and adjusts the correct brushless or brushed
operation automatically. No adjustments required by yourself, apart from the correct connection of each motor
type (don't forget the hall-sensor-wire for brushless!).
CAUTION: Keep in mind, when swopping between brushless and brushed motors, that the chosen mode values
will be identical!
Changing Mode settings without the transmitter:
to your transmitter, but never mind since you can simply disconnect the receiver lead from the receiver and
change the MODE settings as described in section 7 „Mode Programming".
IceDrive Design:
LRP's secret IceDrive Design results in lower speedo temperature under all racing conditions
and for both brushless + brushed. Sorry, no further details to be disclosed. Simply a step ahead of the competition!
Works-Default-Settings:
All LRP speed-controls come factory-adjusted (defaults are grey-shaded abo-
ve). If you loose track of the modes, you can restore the works default settings. With the transmitter switched
on, hold the SET button pressed while you switch on the speed-control. This simple action returns the unit to
the LRP works default settings.
Power Capacitor:
Never disconnect the power-capacitor! It is required for proper function, a special Super-
Low ESR type has been choosen, which offers increased punch and additional protection, therefore only use
genuine LRP power capacitors.
Sensored Brushless Technology:
Advanced Digital allows the perfect knowledge of the brushless
motor's magnet position. This results in perfect motor control at high and low RPM's, as well as perfect
brake control.
Multi-Protection System:
The perfect protection against short-circuits (motor), overload and overhea-
ting. If your speed-control faces overload, the motor function will be shut-off for protection and the SET LED will
flash, although the steering function is maintained. Let the speed-control cool down for a few minutes. If you
experience frequent shutdowns, check for the following:
• Correct gear ratio (refer to motor manual for gearing recommendations)
• ADPC setting too high (higher value will heat up motor and speed-control excessively)
• Motor is too strong or motor is damaged.
