More about the Battery
Management System/Low
Voltage Cutoff
The low-voltage cutoff is based on the type of
battery,batteryvoltage,cellcount(forLi-Po/
Li-ionmodes,whichtheESCrecognizesatpower
up) and battery voltage under load. The low-
voltage cutoff occurs in 2 steps.
Step1:Themotor’spowerisreducedinorderto
alert the user that the battery is about to reach the
cutoff point.
Step2:Oncethebatteryreachesthelow-voltage
cutoff point, the motor will shut down completely.
Inordertoprotectyourbattery,donotresume
operation.Shutthevehicleoffandinstalla

The following will show the low-voltage
cutoff levels:
7. Motor Timing
There are 4 options
available in this
function that allow you
to adjust motor timing
to maximize your
motor’s performance.
The options are: auto,
low, standard and
advanced. Advanced
timing offers
maximum power
output at the expense
of efficiency and run
time.
Inmotortimingmode,themotorproduces7
beeps signifying motor timing mode, followed
