The Quick Jump into the program mode is a bit tricky, If you can't get it to work, you can easily get to the adjustments by checking the profile, then taping the button during the final light "countdown".
The Power Cap cannot make voltage if it's not there. So it only goes to what the battery pack "is". It will slowly discharge as it sits by itself, so don't expect it to read much voltage after everything is disconnected.

So when i saw the spark from the where the Capacitor wire on soldered onto the ESC board (by accidentally hitting the flat-head type soldering tip on both neg/pos connections) it only discharged the copacitor and didn't ruin it, or it may have been discharged from not using it in two days already. As long as it went back up in volts when I soldered the battery on, it should work on and still have all the punch it had before right?

A capacitor stores energy. If you sparked it it discharged its energy and will work just fine again when you power up your car the next time. When a capacitor blows you will most definately know it, pretty loud and blows white fuzz everywhere.

Quick question
So the higher the # on the Minimum drive , the more initial punch you will have? If so wouldn't you want that for stock touring? The factory setting is 3 if your in program #1

I have GTX and GT7. Everytime I plug my GT7 to battery there is big spark. Doesn't happen with GTX.

I apologise in advance because I am sure this has been asked before - but there are now in excess of 500 replies .........
Is there any advantage in fitting an external Schotky diode to a GTX running stock and 19 T motors?
Thanks!
