1. Please note that if you choose Level7 to Level9 mode you must use good quality battery pack with powerful discharge ability otherwise these modes cannot get the burst start effect as you want If the motor cannot run smoothly the motor is trembling it may caused by the weak discharge ability of the battery pack please choose a better battery or increase the gear rate Use a smaller pinion 2 5 Maximum Brake Force The ESC provides proportional brake function The brake force is related to the position of the throttle stick Maximum brake force refers to the force when the throttle stick is located at the top point of the backward zone A very large brake force can shorten the brake time but it may damage the gears The Disable option inhibits the inherent brake function of the speed controller When this option is selected the brake function is realized by a traditional disc brake system driven by a servo 2 6 Maximum Reverse Force Sets how much power will be applied in the reverse direction Different value makes different reverse speed 2 Initial Brake Force It is also called minimum brake force and it refers to the force when the throttle stick is located at the initial position of the backward zone The default value is equal to the drag brake force so the brake effect can be very smoothly 2 8 Throttle Neutral Range Please refer to the following picture to adjust the neutral range as your like Top po2.
