A word of warning about the default settings on the HobbyWing EZRUN 18A ESCs: The default settings
from the factory DO NOT match the default settings listed in the user manual. The most significant of these
is the Low Voltage Cut-Off Threshold. Its default is “Non-Protected” which means the ESC will not protect
your battery from low voltage. If you do not set this appropriate to your battery type and are expecting the
ESC to protect your nice new LiPo battery as the manual suggests it will, you will quickly end up with a
damaged battery or worse.
While on the topic of battery protection, the Low Voltage Cut-Off Threshold for LiFePO4 batteries is 2.8V per
cell. Lower voltages risk permanent damage to the battery or at least severely shortening its life.

Here is a table of the settings used for the ROV and the actual default settings on my HobbyWing EZRUN
18A ESCs as they came from the supplier. The selected settings for the ROV are coloured orange and the
actual factory default settings are in bold.
