programing an ESC??
I'm confused on the settings, not sure what they should be???? I've got a hobbywing set up 17.5 justock + ESC
1 running mode - ok option 2 2 Drag brake? 3 cut off - disable (running nimh) 4 start mode ? punch? huh???? 5 max brake - think that means how hard 6 max reverse - speed? 7 initial brake ? just lost me ! 8 neutral range ? 9 timing - justock 17.5 has 0 10 overheat protectionhttps://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rct...0204495e2b.jpg |

Punch is how much power the esc will let out if the truck is at a standstill and you give it a lot of gas. The more percent, the more the esc will limit you. It basically saves the drivetrain for inexperienced users. Max reverse is yes, how much speed. I normally put mine between 30 and 50%. Initial brake I’m not sure. neutral range is a long story. When you put your transmitter in neutral, your esc doesn’t do anything. For older radios, sometimes the esc would think you were giving it throttle (because they were less precise) and because of this, you can turn up the neutral range, so that imprecision of the old radio is now negated and the esc sees neutral for a little bit until the trigger is already pushed a certain amount. Timing I’d keep at a max of 10 degrees (esc wise). Don’t go any higher or your motor will get hot. On the motor itself is a different story. For now that’s all you need to know :D. |
still kinda confused on Punch/ start - you said has to due with percentage --- mine goes from level 1-9 ... also, so the higher the percentage = the more the esc limits the throttle on dead start???

The lower punch levels will make the car start more gently.
The hobbywing justock combo comes with a motor with fixed timing on the motor. In stock racing for offroad, timing is not allowed to be set on the ESC . but timing adjustments can be made on the motor. Once you get used to running what you've got, if you're noticing a lack of speed then get a motor that has adjustable timing on the motor can. Motors labeled 'SPEC' are usually fixed timing. For racing, it is better to disable reverse and just use the Forward/Brake Option. If you do have reverse setup for practicing, don't use it during a race. |

I probably wont br racing and I want reverse. Thanks |
