Sure thing I’ll hook you up.
Drag brake is when you get off the gas, you can choose if you want the esc to automatically apply the brakes or not, and if so, how much.
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
