6. k method can prevent mistaken reversing action when the brake function is frequently used in steering In the process of brake or reverse if the throttle stick is moved to forward zone the motor will run forward at once Forward Reverse mode uses Single click method to make the car go backward When you move the throttle stick from forward zone to backward zone the car will go backward immediately This mode is usually used for the Rock Crawler 2 2 Drag Brake Force Set the amount of drag brake applied at neutral throttle to simulate the slight braking effect of a neutral brushed motor while coasting 2 3 Low Voltage Cut Off The function prevents the lithium battery pack from over discharging The ESC detects the battery s voltage at any time if the voltage is lower than the threshold for 2 seconds the output power will be reduced 70 after 10 seconds the output power will be completely shut off and the red LED flashes in such a way 0 Please stop your car at the track side as soon as possible to avoid obstructing other racing cars For stock motors 3 4V Cell cutoff threshold is suggested Please note that the cutoff threshold is calculated for each LITHIUM Lipo battery cell For NiMH battery packs if the voltage of the whole NiMH battery pack is higher than 9 0V it will be considered as a 3 cells lithium battery pack If it is lower than 9 0V it will be considered as a 2 cells lithium battery pack For exam
