[. . . ] Raising this setting makes the motor slow down more without pushing the transmitter's trigger into the brake/reverse direction. DEAD BAND(1of5settingsfrom3to9%)--The space between Minimum Brake and Minimum Drive, with neutral in the middle. Raising this setting will increase the `free play', or distance your trigger must move before forward drive or braking will begin. MINIMUM DRIVE(1of5settingsfrom2to12%)--The amount of forward drive applied with the first pulse of transmitter throttle information. [. . . ] Re-charge battery after Smart-Stop circuitry shuts off throttle Even though the pack's voltage will rise(afterashortrestingperiod) to a level high enough to run motor again, this is not good for Li-Po batteries. DO NOT CONTINUE TO RUN VEHICLE AFTER THE SMART-STOP HAS SHUT DOWN THE THROTTLE OUTPUT THE FIRST TIME. During power-up when the ESC is switched ON, the Amber & Red LEDs will flash together 3 times to indicate Li-Po Cut-Off is ACTIVE.

In Brushless Profiles 1 & 2, the brakes linearly ramp up to the value of Drag/Hill brakes that you program. This provides smooth application of braking without risk of roll-overs. mOtOr rOtAtiON SeleCtiOn The Goat's software lets you reverse the brushless motor's rotation direction. This allows installation in vehicles with counter-rotating drive trains (oropposedtransmissions), without compromising performance.

Quick press & release the SET button to change the Drag Brake setting. 2. MAKE SURE THE THROTTLE PROFILE TO ADJUST IS ACTIVE If you are not sure what profile is selected, follow the procedures in `Throttle Profile Selection' to check or select the desired profile. You can adjust different parameters(describedonbacksideofthissheet)to fine tune the speed control to perform & feel the way you like it. Remember that you can not access the Brush-Mode (Profile #4) without disconnecting the brushless motor's sensor harness from the ESC. Note: there is no time constraint during selection process of custom parameters. 5.
