Coast

It allows the motor to gradually lower RPM when reducing the throttle from full or near full speed back to neutral. The vehicle will not abruptly slow when the throttle is reduced to return to the neutral position. The bigger the value, the more the “COAST” will be felt. Example, COAST of 0 deactivates, and a COAST of 20% would be the maximum amount of COAST.

What is COAST?

When a vehicle is operated with smaller pinions and larger spur gears the vehicle tends to create a feel of braking known as “gear brake”. HOBBYWING COAST technology is to allow the car to roll (coast) as if the vehicle was geared with a larger pinion. The Coast function brings better and smoother control feelings to racers. Also some drivers will refer to this feel as how the traditional brushed motors felt --- they “COASTED” more because the armature with the wire on it was heavy and harder to stop spinning - in the brushless motor the rotor being relatively light stops spinning more abruptly.

The “Coast” will be void (even if you set it to any value besides 0) if the above “ drag brake ” is not “0%”.
