3. 10 Turbo Interval Turbo Interval is effective only when Turbo Timing is in operation It acts as a ramp up for the Turbo Timing 11 settings from 0 to 10 e At setting 0 the set Turbo Timing kicks in immediately at full throttle e At setting 10 the set Turbo Timing takes 1 5 sec to reach the preset value after full throttle e Turbo Interval setup is important to ensure high top end speed on long straightaway e Shorter tracks will favor lower turbo smooth settings making the turbo very aggressive for more power right away Longer tracks favor higher settings making it smoother and generate less heat Punch Allows you to change the punch of the ESC Level 1 to Level 10 e Level 1 has the least punch and Level 10 has the highest punch e Adjust punch level to maximize acceleration speed with minimum wheel spin e With stock motor start with Level 7 e With mod motor start with Level 4 PWM Allows you to change the forward drive frequency of the ESC 2K 4K 8K 32K and 64k e A 2K setup will give you good punch at the low end e A 32K setup will result in strong mid to top end e Experiment to find out what suits your driving style best Drag Brake Also known as trail braking allows you to set the automatic brake force applied when the throttle returns to neutral position 16 steps from 0 to 15 e Drag brake affects how a car handles off throttle entering a corner With drag brake on there

9. o adjust the time gap between the regular Timing Menu 1 and the Turbo Timing Menu 3 16 settings from 0 sec to 0 75 sec in 0 05 sec increments e Turbo Delay is needed because when the ESC is operating under the Turbo Timing mode it drives the motor to very high RPM however with very low torque With Turbo Delay the motor has a chance to rev up before the Turbo Timing kicks in Thus achieving higher top speed e Proper adjustment of the Turbo Delay will result in smooth transition and continuous power band from regular Timing to Turbo Timing 3 Turbo Timing Turbo Timing is unique to brushless systems because the ESC can simulate motor timing advance While mechanical timing advance in brush motor system is limited by the physical phasing of the motor brushless ESC timing advance can push beyond that physical limit As a result motors can run at a super high RPM in the Turbo Timing mode resulting in a sensation of having a 2 gear Turbo for top speed This menu allows you to adjust the amount of Turbo Timing in your ESC Forward Brake for STOCK in 2 increments Mod Motor for MOD in 1 increments 16 settings from 12 to 26 including off e Turbo Timing is applied at full throttle e Higher Turbo Timing settings will increase top speed but will drive motor and ESC temperatures up as well Caution Heat is your biggest enemy Monitor your ESC and motor temperature to avoid equipment damage
