[. . . ] Click Open Disconnecting Your ESC 1. Click Disconnect in the top menu bar or 1. Choosing the Expo/Custom curve provides a less responsive (more forgiving) low-end braking that can be more controllable. By selecting the "Modify" button, the exponential curve will be displayed on a separate screen. It can be modified by grabbing any of the points along the curve and dragging them to their desired positions There are several default brake curves that can be selected and applied to your speed control. These defaults are located in the "Default Curves" drop down menu located in the upper left area of the Brake Curve screen. - - - Note: The Brake Frequency cannot be adjusted when a custom curve is selected. Brake End Point - Brake End Point is the percentage of the transmitter trigger's brake throw at which the ESC's brakes will reach 100% braking power. This setting is measured as a percentage of the full transmitters trigger throw in the brake direction. Ten preset selections are available in the drop down menu. Decreasing the Brake End Point setting reduces the distance the transmitter's trigger is required to move for full brakes to be applied by the speed control. In addition, the end points of the Brake Curve will move to this setting, resulting in full braking for the rest of the trigger throw. - - Note: At high timing settings, we recommend 100% Brake End Point. Brake Frequency - Brake Frequency is the rate at which the information is being sent from the ESC to the motor (how many times per second the motor is being cycled on and off to control its brakes). This setting controls how the speed control's brakes respond to the transmitters trigger input in the full brake direction. * You must select "Enter" for the software to recognize the custom value. Drive Frequency - This setting controls how the speed controls throttle (or forward drive) responds to the transmitters trigger input. Drive Frequency is www. teamnovak. com 14 | Novak Electronics, Inc. Instruction Manual the frequency at which the information is being sent from the ESC to the motor (how many times per second the motor is being cycled on and off to control its speed). Changing the Drive Frequency setting can be a valuable tuning asset for different types of motor and track conditions. Ten preset selections are available in the drop down menu. Increasing the Drive Frequency setting will require more initial trigger movement to obtain a given amount of forward drive. This will make the throttle feel smoother. The setting is also useful for light vehicles as they will accelerate more controllably under initial drive. The speed control has built-in Thermal Overload Circuitry to protect the ESC from damage resulting from excessive temperatures. If the ESC starts to overheat, this sophisticated circuitry will turn off the electronic motor timing advancement. If the ESC's temperature continues to rise, the circuitry drops the ESC's power output to 25% allowing you to safely maneuver your vehicle off of the track. There are two settings in the ESC Temperature Protection. [. . . ] Increasing the setting will increase the maximum amount of electronic motor timing that is applied to the motor throughout the www. teamnovak. com - 19 | Novak Electronics, Inc. Instruction Manual throttle band. Using a higher timing setting will result in more overall motor RPM, and more current and heating. Special attention to gearing must be applied when experimenting with timing changes. Start with a VERY small pinion size and check ESC and motor temperatures at multiple times throughout initial runs. [. . . ]
