Proceed as follows:
• Place the model vehicle so that the wheels can turn freely. Use a suitable basis or a car stand.
• Take the transmitter into operation; insert, e.g., batteries/rechargeable batteries and switch on the trans-
mitter.
Leave the throttle/brake lever in its neutral position (do not move the lever). Put the trimming for driving into
the centre position.
• Connect a fully charged drive battery to the speed controller if you have not done so already.
• Keep the operating button (9) pushed for a few seconds. The motor emits a long beep and the LED in the
operating button flashes red. The motor then emits continuous short beeps.
The sounds are generated by a short start-up of the brushless motor.
• Release the throttle/brake at your transmitter so that it sits in the neutral position.
• Briefly push the operating button (9); the LED in the operating button briefly flashes 1x green and the motor
emits a brief beep. The neutral position is now saved.
• Move the throttle/brake lever at the transmitter to full throttle for forwards driving, pull it towards the handle
and hold it there.
Attention!
If you do not move the transmitter throttle/brake lever during the programming process or do not
move it far enough, the vehicle might respond even to slight movements of the transmitter throttle
lever or become uncontrollable. In that case, repeat programming.
• Briefly push the operating button (9); the LED in the operating button briefly flashes 2x green and the motor
emits two brief beeps. The full throttle position for forward driving is stored.
• Move the throttle/brake lever of the transmitter to full throttle for reverse driving, push it away from the
handle to the stop.
• Briefly push the operating button (9); the LED in the operating button briefly flashes 3x green and the motor
emits two brief beeps. The full throttle position for reverse driving is stored.
• Release the throttle/brake so that it sits in the neutral position.
• If you wait for a few seconds now, you will leave setting mode automatically and the speed controller will
be ready for operation with the new settings the LED in the operating button is lit red.
b) Programming the Special Functions
All special functions of the speed controller can be programmed very simply and comfortably via the enc-
losed programing card.
Proceed as follows for programming:
• Place the model vehicle so that the wheels can turn freely. Use a suitable basis or a car stand.
• Take the transmitter into operation; insert, e.g., batteries/rechargeable batteries and switch on the trans-
mitter.
Leave the throttle/brake lever in its neutral position (do not move the lever). Put the trimming for driving into
the centre position.
• Connect a fully charged drive battery to the speed controller if you have not done so already or switch off
the speed controller.
• Connect the programing card (3) to the corresponding socket (8) at the speed controller via the enclosed
connection cable (4).
Always ensure correct polarity. A colour mark or label „+", „-" and „S" helps make the proper connection.
• Switch on the speed controller by briefly pushing the operating button (9). Then the programming card
shows the current programming by its LEDs.
• Briefly pushing the button on the programing card (lower right) permits switching between the different
functions. For a description of the functions, see the next chapter.
To change the current value, keep the button on the programming card pushed for a longer time. The LEDs
show the respective value; release the button again when the desired value has been set. The LED in the
speed controller than briefly flashes green.
• If you want to terminate programming, switch off the speed controller by keeping the operating button (9)
pushed for one second.
Then disconnect the programming card from the speed controller; pull the connection cable (4) from the
socket (8) of the speed controller.
Description of the programmed special functions
Note:
When the programming card is connected to the speed controller, the motor is deactivated for
reasons of safety.
„Cut-off Voltage" Function: Undervoltage protection
If LiPo rechargeable batteries are used, then you must ensure that the low-voltage protection is activated and
set correctly (we recommend at least 3.0 V per cell). When operating a LiPo battery without undervoltage
protection or when setting too low a value, the LiPo battery is permanently damaged by deep discharge!
• „Auto LiPo" (automatic recognition of the cell number; basic setting)
The speed controller measures the voltage of the connected LiPo drive battery when switching on. It uses
this voltage to calculate the cell number (e.g. 2 or 3 cells). Depending on the deactivation voltage set in
the function „Auto-LiPo Cut off Volts /Cell", the speed controller switches off the motor to prevent deep
discharge of the LiPo rechargeable battery.
When this setting is chosen, connect a fully charged LiPo drive battery, but never a partially charged one.
Otherwise, the correct cell number cannot be recognised correctly.
• „None" (no undervoltage protection)
This setting must only be chosen if you operate the speed controller with a NiMH drive battery.
• „5V", „6V", „9V", „12V" (fixed voltage value)
These settings can be used to specify a fixed voltage value for undervoltage protection.
The setting „5V" must, however, not be used for any 2- or 3-cell LiPo drive battery!

Function „Auto-LiPo Cut off Volts/Cell": Cell voltage for undervoltage protection
If the setting „Auto LiPo" is chosen in the function „Cut Off Voltage", you must set the cell voltage here when
the speed controller is to switch off the motor.
The speed controller measures the voltage of the connected LiPo drive battery when switching on (this must
be fully loaded). It uses this voltage to calculate the cell number (e.g. 2 or 3 cells).
If you have, e.g., connected a two-cell LiPo drive battery and set a voltage of 3.1 V, the speed controller
switches the motor off at a total voltage of 6.2 V (2 cells x 3.1 V = 6.2 V).
A value of 3.0 V/cell, 3.1 V/cell, 3.2 V/cell or 3.3 V/cell is possible; the default setting is 3.2 V/cell.
Function „Drag Brake": Motor brake
If you reduce the throttle at the transmitter or move back the throttle/brake lever into the neutral position,
the vehicle will slow down automatically. The effect is thus exactly like that of the motor-braking function in a
„real" car when you release the throttle pedal without stepping on the brake pedal.
This also corresponds to the brake function of a conventional electric motor (a brushless electrical motor
does not have any strong magnets that brake the rotor).
A value from 0% to 30% can be set in steps of 5%; the default setting is 10%.
Function „Brakes Strength": Brake force
The speed controller unit allows proportional braking strength depending on the setting of the transmitter
lever. A high setting (e.g. 100%) decreases braking distance but has a negative effect on the lifetime of the
drive (specifically for the drive pinion and the main gear). The brake is switched off for the set value „0%".
A value from 0% to 100% can be set in steps of 10%; the default setting is 80%.
Function „Punch Strength": Acceleration when starting to drive (start-up torque)
Depending on this setting, the take-off/start speed is more or less powerful. The higher the set value, the
more current will the motor pull from the connected battery; it must accordingly be of higher quality.
A higher setting also should only be used on loose underground, since otherwise there may be an overload
of the drive.
The value can be set from 0 to 30 in steps of 5; the default setting is 10.
„Dead Band" Function: Neutral position recognition range
Set how high the area for recognition of the neutral position at the transmitter is.
A higher area („Large") must be set when the mechanics for the throttle/brake lever at the transmitter works
inaccurately. For higher-value transmitters, the setting „Small" or „Normal" must be used. The default setting
is „Normal".
„Reverse Type" function: Drive function
In this function, the drive function (forward/reverse) and the brake can be programmed.
• „Proportional Rev. Lock Out"
Reverse driving is only possible if the throttle/brake lever at the transmitter has been in the neutral position
• „Proportional w/o Reverse" (default setting)
Reverse driving is deactivated. If the throttle/brake lever at the transmitter is moved to the position for
• „FWD to Brake and Reverse"
Both forward and reverse driving or the brake function are activated.
If the throttle/brake lever at the transmitter is moved without pause from forward to reverse driving, the
„Motor Timing" Function: Brushless motor timing
This setting influences motor running characteristics (similar to early ignition of a combustion engine).
You can change this setting in steps of 5° from „None" (no timing change, 0°) via „Low", „Middle" to
„High"(30°).
If you set „None/0°", the motor has a little more torque and a little lower maximum rotating speed than in
the default setting (10°). Setting „High/30°" means that the motor has a little higher maximum speed and a
little less torque.
In both cases, the current values change however. Additionally observe the temperatures of the motor and
speed controller in operation.
„ESC Type" function: Speed controller type
This LED shows whether a motor with sensor connection has been recognised (such as the enclosed brush-
less motor with sensor cable).
„Motor Direction" Function: Rotating direction of the motor
With this function, you can switch the rotating direction of the motor so that the movement at the throttle/
brake lever of the transmitter matches the driving direction of the vehicle (depending on the gear of the model
vehicle). The default setting is „Normal"; „Reverse" reverses the rotating direction.
for 2 seconds. Otherwise, only the brake is activated if you move the throttle/brake lever at the transmitter
to the position for reverse driving.
reverse driving, the drive is only braked.
speed controller activates the brake function. If the throttle/brake lever is briefly in the neutral position
between forward and reverse driving or if the vehicle is standing, the vehicle will then drive backwards.
