You can program settings like Running Mode, LiPo Cells, and Low-Voltage Cutoff using the SET button and observing LED flash patterns as detailed in the programming flow chart.

Troubleshooting

If the vehicle does not operate correctly, check the following:

• No power: Check battery connections and ESC switch.
• Motor beeps/doesn't work: Check battery voltage, re-calibrate throttle range, or check for signal loss.
• Vehicle runs in reverse: Swap any two motor wires.
• Stuttering: Check for loose solder joints between motor and ESC.
