Running Mode
There are three options available for setting of the running mode;
Option 1: “Forward Only with Brake” The car will only go forward and have brakes, but reverse is disabled. This mode is suitable for competition purposes.
Option 2: “Forward/Reverse with Brake” This mode provides a reverse function, which is suitable for practice.
Note: The reverse function is engaged by a double click method. On the first application of backwards throttle, brakes are applied. On returning to the neutral point, and then applying the backwards throttle for a second time, the reverse function will be engaged. However, if at this time to motor is still moving forward (i.e in a double braking action from high speed), the ESC will not go into reverse. The motor must be at 0 rpm to engage reverse. This is a protection function for the drivetrain of the vehicle.
Option 3: “Forward / Reverse” When moving from the forward zone to the backward zone, the ESC will engage reverse immediately. This mode is intended for rock crawling applications, where instant control is required.
