Tekin explanations of assorted settings:
RPM Brake- lets you set a special brake power that works off of the motor RPM. This setting adjusts your “slow speed” or “infield brake” energy. First you’ll set your regular Brake Strength for top pace areas of the monitor, so set them the way you need them for braking on the straight and for corners on the finish of excessive pace sections. Then you should use RPM brake to extend braking power at gradual speeds, if crucial.
If your automobile is ideal braking from excessive speeds, however appears to lack brake power at slower speeds, like within the infield in tight sections, you possibly can flip RPM Brake as much as enhance the gradual pace brake energy.
Brake Minimum- It adjusts the minimal quantity of brake the ESC will apply to the motor as quickly as set off brakes are engaged. The larger the worth set, the stronger the preliminary brake energy shall be. This can even transfer the place full brakes are at on the set off, so if a setting larger than 0 is used, 100% brake sign is reached earlier than 100% set off throw.
Push Control- lets you set some synthetic coast to assist “push” the automobile once you let off throttle and go to impartial. It does the precise reverse of Drag Brake, so fairly than apply brakes the ESC will preserve throttle on and fade to zero throttle as long as you keep in impartial. This can assist remove drive practice drag and help with coming into corners and carrying extra momentum in every single place on the monitor. This setting is most helpful for inventory lessons.
Torque Level- controls the preliminary energy supply or the “punch” your ESC and motor will present. 1-10 steps can be found with 10 being OFF, or full punch with no limiter. The default setting of 8 is a superb beginning place for many setups and surfaces.
Use 4-7 for many modified setups on decrease to medium traction surfaces. 7-9 for top traction surfaces. Setting 10 for any inventory or SPEC racing class so no limiter is in impact.
Throttle Minimum- is the minimal throttle energy the ESC will apply to the motor when the consumer induces a throttle software. If you need a stronger preliminary throttle and better motor begin up RPM, use the next worth. Use a decrease worth or 0 to have a softer throttle and decrease motor begin up RPM. For Spec racing, larger values will enhance the punch really feel.
Throttle Frequency- lets you modify how aggressively the throttle in your ESC reacts. Lower values present a extra aggressive really feel and better values present a extra delicate really feel. This setting can be utilized to fine-tune the texture you’re searching for on totally different surfaces.
Default is 6kHz with a variety of 2-12kHz out there. Lower values are nice for inventory lessons and better traction surfaces, 5-8kHz are nice for many modified and 1/8 electrical setups on all surfaces. 9-12kHz soften the low finish of the throttle up and can assist out for those who drive extra nitro model.
Brake strength- adjusts the quantity of set off brake the ESC will apply to the motor. There are 1-13 steps out there utilizing the onboard QuickTune system, with every step being about 8% brake power. You also can superb tune the brake power by way of the HotWire at the next decision of adjustment, with 0-100% steps out there.
Brakes are extraordinarily necessary and you have to modify them appropriately. Track floor, moisture content material, tires and automobile will all come into play when setting brakes. Typically a very good brake power goes to be 80% or much less. I discover myself setting at the same time as far down as 55% at occasions, which actually helps me not over brake and carry extra pace.
Brake Frequency- modifications the heart beat width being utilized throughout braking. In basic larger frequencies present a softer brake energy and really feel with a extra usable vary of set off movement, permitting for higher brake modulation whereas maintaining full brake energy general. Lower frequency provides extra aggressive brakes with a stronger general really feel.
