The greyed out values are the default settings after a reset (see chapter 10. c). The speed controller of your

Overview of functions:
• Function #1, green LED ashes 1x: Drive function
Here you can use the speed controller to toggle between "Forwards/Brake" and "Forwards/Brake/Backwards"
(reverse travel can thus be disabled). The "Forwards/Backwards" setting should not be used; it is intended for
"crawler" vehicles.
• Function #2, green LED ashes 2x: Brake
If you release the throttle on the transmitter or move the throttle/brake lever on the transmitter back to the neutral
position, the vehicle will slow down by itself. The effect is just like the engine braking function on a "real" car when
you release the accelerator pedal without pressing the brake pedal.
The brake functions like a brake on a standard electric motor (a brushless electric motor does not have strong
magnets that slow down the rotor).
• Function #3, green LED ashes 3x: Low voltage protection
If LiPo drive rechargeable batteries are used, make sure that low voltage protection is enabled (we recommend at
least 3.0 V per cell).

• Function #4, green LED ashes 4x: Startup mode
The vehicle will start to move with more or less force depending on the setting. The higher the setting value, the
more current the motor draws from the connected rechargeable battery; so the rechargeable battery must be high-
performance.
In addition, a higher setting value should be used only when operating the vehicle on loose ground, as otherwise
the drive (gears, pinions, differentials, tyres) will be overloaded.
