[. . . ] Take some time to read through this guide thoroughly before operation. Most importantly, enjoy all of the technical benefits and features that the M2 Dig has to offer! 1. PUSH TRANSMITTER THROTTLE TO FULL-BRAKE/REVERSE Hold it there until the green status LED blinks green. With transmitter throttle at neutral, and still pressing the SET button, slide the ESC's ON/OFF switch to ON position. Hold it there until the green status LED turns solid green. Apply a small amount of throttle to confirm that ONLY the front or rear motor is running and the opposite end's Dig is engaged. [. . . ] · Improper One-Touch set up­­Refer to `ONE-TOUCH PROGRAMMING' section. 11. RETURN TRANSMITTER'S AUX/3rd CHANNEL TO NEUTRAL Speed Control Runs Excessively Hot · Gear ratio too low­­Increase ratio/Reduce pinion (refer to `PROPER GEAR SELECTION'). · Motor is damaged­­Try a different motor. The blue, yellow, & red status LEDs will turn on solid, indicating that speed control is at neutral and that proper programming has been completed. NOTE: If transmitter settings are changed, One-Touch Programming must be repeated. NOTE: Whenever the One-Touch Programming set-up is performed, the speed control will automatically revert back to the factory-default settings. ESC Is Melted Or Burnt/ESC Runs With Switch Off · Internal damage­­Refer to Service Procedures. BEC and/or Receiver Cuts Out Under High Steering Load · Using very high-power servos­­Use an external BEC to power servos & receiver. · Steering end points set too high­­Reduce steering travel to prevent servo from pulling excessive current when steering is at full lock position. · Operating on 3S LiPo/LiFe­­Use an external BEC to power servos & receiver. transmitter adjustments Transmitter adjustments may not be needed to program and operate the M2 Dig 3S ESC. However, if you have any problems with ONETOUCH PROGRAMMING, adjust the transmitter as follows and repeat the ONE-TOUCH PROGRAMMING step. THROTTLE CHANNEL ADJUSTMENTS A. Set ELECTRONIC TRIGGER THROW ADJUSTMENT to 50% throttle and 50% brake throw­best for reversible ESCs. [adjusts trigger throw electronic/digital pistol-grip transmitters] G. Set MECHANICAL TRIGGER THROW ADJUSTMENT to position with 1/2 throttle and 1/2 brake throw. Use Throttle Profile 3. GOOD QUALITY RADIO SYSTEM SUGGESTED With the greater demand of high-end electronics, undesirable radio system noise may occur when used with lower quality radio systems. FM radio systems are acceptable, as long as the system is high quality. AM radio systems are NOT recommended. 2. 4 GHz FM AM All LEDs flashing = DANGEROUS operating temperature. Your ESC is now about to thermally shut-down. --Reduce pinion size to avoid overheating and potential ESC damage-P8 www. teamnovak. com P5 Best to use OK to use Do not use throttle profile selection The M2 Dig 3S Dual Brush speed control is equipped with 3 user-selectable Throttle Profiles, as shown below: · PROFILE 1 ­ Dig Mode ­ When the AUX/3rd switch/dial is thrown, the dig function for either the front or rear motor (depending on the switch position) will be engaged. The transmitter must have either a proportional AUX switch or a simple three-position AUX switch. · PROFILE 2 ­ Proportional Dig Mode ­ In this mode, the amount of dig power applied to each motor is directly proportional to the position of the AUX/3rd channel. The transmitter must have an AUX/3rd channel and must have a proportional-style switch or control similar to a dial or knob. · PROFILE 3 ­ Single Output Mode ­ This mode is used for standard twochannel operation with either single or dual-motor control. See STEP 1 for proper input harness connections and STEP 3 for proper motor connections. NOTE: The M2 Dig has the ability to run on either 2S or3S LiPo or LiFe batteries via Novak's auto detect software. By locking either the front of rear motor, the vehicle is able to perform a "Dig" maneuver that can allow you to navigate around obstacles or perform a tighter turning radius by dragging the rear wheels. voltage cut-off #6 VOLTAGE CUT-OFF SELECTION (1 of 3) YELLOW & RED LEDs >> Changing this setting enables or disables the ESC's Smart Stop voltage cut-off circuitry, and also sets the voltage cut-off point based on what type of batteries are being used in the vehicle's main battery pack.

[. . . ] PRESS & HOLD SET BUTTON TO STORE NEW SELECTION When SET button is pressed and held for about 1-2 seconds, the new selection is stored in ESC's memory--Status LEDs will scroll across to indicate ESC is exiting programming & ESC returns to neutral. There is no time constraint during selection of custom parameters. PROFILE Dead Band (%): Note: When using Profile #3, the Single Output Mode, you must change the ESC to Profile #3 BEFORE performing the One-Touch Programming. STORE SELECTION & EXIT TO NEUTRAL Once the desired profile is selected, press and hold the SET button for 1-2 seconds. When the LEDs begin to scroll off, release the SET button and the blue, yellow, & red LEDs will turn on solid. [. . . ]
