The SPHERE COMPETITION features 4 modes which enable you to adjust it to YOUR special requirements.
MODE 2 (ADPC™+ DEMS drive-/punch-control)
allows you to set a certain level of “hand-brake effect“, i.e. you can vary the minmum brake
effect when you apply the brake.
MODE.4 (Automatic Brake):
allows you to set a slight braking action which is applied in the neutral range. This
enables you to simulate the feel of a brushed motor and also hold the throttle on longer when entering a turn.
Value 2 with brushless has identical natural slowdown as brushed without automatic brake.
