ESC Parameter Setting

FMS-LC80-Toyota-Land-Cruiser-fig-4

The Dial Switch on the transmitter is used to set ESC parameters, that is, the Dial Switch is located at different positions and the corresponding parameter values are different.

Setting Method:

There are three parameters can be set for the ESC, which are “Running mode”, “Battery type”, “Drag brake”, There are slide switches numbered 1 2 3 4 on the radio panel . The above parameters can be set by dialing down and up. The specific operation is as follows:

  • When No. 1 slide switch is on down, it indicates that the operation mode is set to FWD / REV / BRK.
  • When No. 1 slide switch is on up, it indicates that the operation mode is set to FWD/REV.
  • When No. 2 slide switch is on down, it indicates that the battery type is set to Lipo.
  • When No. 2 slide switch is on up, it indicates that the battery type is set to NiMH.
  • When No. 3 and No.4 slide switches are on down, it indicates that the drag brake force is set to 0%.
  • When No. 3 slide switch is on the down and the No.4 slide switch is on the up, it indicates that the drag brake force is set to 50%.
  • When No. 3 slide switch is on the up and the No.4 slide switch is on the down, it indicates that the drag brake force is set to 75%.
  • When No. 3 and No.4 slide switches are on up, it indicates that the drag brake force is set to 100%

Parameter Explanation:

Running Mode

  • FWD/REV/BRK: This mode adopts “double click” reverse mode, that is, when the throttle trigger is pushed from the natural range to the reverse area for the first time, the motor is only braking and will not reverse; when the throttle trigger is moved back to the natural range and pushed to the reverse area for the second time, it will reverse. This mode is applicable to general models.
  • FWD/REV: This mode adopts “one-click” reverse mode, that is, when the throttle trigger is pushed from the natural range to the reverse area, the motor immediately generates reverse action, which is generally applied to rock crawler. Parameter setting method:
  • When No. 1 slide switch is on down, it indicates that the operation mode is set to FWD / REV / BRK.
  • When No. 1 slide switch is on up, it indicates that the operation mode is set to FWD/REV.

Battery Type
There are LiPo and NiMH cells. The low-pressure protection value is different under different types. It can be set according to the actual use.
Parameter setting method:

  • When No. 2 slide switch is on down, it indicates that the battery type is set to Lipo.
  • When No. 2 slide switch is on up, it indicates that the battery type is set to NiMH.

Drag Brake Force
The drag brake means that when the throttle trigger moves from the forward or reverse area to the natural range, it will produce a certain braking force to the motor, the larger the value is, the greater the drag brake force is. Select proper braking force according to the actual situation.
Parameter setting method:

  • When No 3 and No.4 slide switches are on down, it indicates that the drag brake force is set to 0%.
  • When No 3 slide switch is on the down and the No.4 slide switch is on the up, it indicates that the drag brake force is set to 50%.
  • When No 3 slide switch is on the up and No.4 slide switch is on the down, it indicates that the drag brake force is set to 75%.
  • When No 3 and No.4 slide switches are on up, it indicates that the drag brake force is set to 100%.
