Congratulations for buying GM-Racing's Genius Controller for conventional and brushless motors,
probably the best and most universal controller for use in contest world-wide. It is adapted for use with
brushless motors with or without Hall sensors. During our tests, however, the controller proved so
sentitive that there appeared to be no need for using the more expensive sensor-equipped motors. Marc
Fischer won the first A-Main at the European Championship 2006 without sensors in wet conditions.
With this controller, Ralf Helbing is extending his series of successful controllers, which won numerous
World and European Championships, as well as national competitions. Genius controllers are again
offering a new challenge in functionality, size, and controlling attitudes.

Important notice:
Please read this manual carefully before using your controller. Only then can you have full profit of the
potential of your controller, and avoid mistakes. Hand the instruction to the next user, in case you sell
the speed controller.
Characteristics:
GM-Racing controllers are packed with the latest components. Functionality, life time, state-of-the-art
features, functional design, and ideal component sizes have been given the greatest consideration. The
software which has been developed and continually improved by our team stands in the first line for
simplicity and precision of the settings. Our "Easy Set System", in connection with the "IDA System",
enables you to set each mode within seconds, either with or without the help of the GMVIS Commander
94401 (software version V2005 or later) or the GENIUS-PROGRAMMER 2894.12 or a PC with
Windows 2000, XP, Vista. With a few clicks you will be able to adapt the controller and thus the driving
attitudes of your model to the environment. Still the controller can be used on the spot, without any
programming, in the factory settings.
Factory settings for this controller include its use with both NiMH and NiCD, as well as for two LiPo-
cells.
In mode 3 (Mode for LiPo/NiMH), the controller automatically determines the tension of the drive battery
after plugging it in, and then also automatically slowely shuts down power when the tension drops below
50/80 of the start-up tension, so as to avoid a deep discharge of LiPo / LiIo, or NiMH, and NiCd cells.
One condition for this function is that the battery pack is well-balanced, with every cell having the same
capacity.
Further on the controller automatically determines on plugging-in whether a conventional or a brushless
motor (sensor-equipped or not) has been connected.
Caution! When using a conventional (brush) motor in configuration #3 or #4 to make the reverse gear
available, use only batteries up to 7.4V.
Main programmable functions:
- Mode 0 (forward, with brakes):
- Mode 1 (forward, with brakes): for NiMH-batteries for tracks
- Mode 2 (forward, with brakes): for NiMH-batteries for tracks
- Mode 3 (forward, with brakes): for LiPo-batteries and NiMH-batteries for tracks with low grip.
- Mode 4 (forward with brakes, reverse available): for LiPo/NiMH-batteries
- Mode 5 (forward with brakes, reverse available): for NiMH-batteries
Modes for stock racing with variable timing with hall sensors
- Mode 6 (forward, with brakes): for NiMH-batteries for tracks with good grip
- Mode 7 (forward, with brakes): for NiMH-batteries for tracks with low grip.
- Mode 8 (forward, with brakes): for LiPo-batteries and NiMH-batteries for tracks with very low grip.
For a detailed description of the factory settings see Main functions, pages 9 and following or look at the
PC software.
