I am setting up my Caldera 10E. I'm using a LiPo battery.
Can anyone give me the rundown on where to set each of the following:
1. Running Mode:
Forward Only with Brake
Forward/Reverse with Brake
Forward and Reverse
2. Drag Brake Force
0% 5% 10% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100%
3. Cut-Off Threshold
No Protection
2.6v/Cell
2.8v/Cell
3.0v/Cell
3.2v/Cell
3.4v/Cell
4. Start Mode
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 5 Level 6 Level 7 Level 8 Level 9
5. Brake Force
25% 50% 75% 100%
6. Reverse Force
25% 50% 75% 100%
7. Initial Brake Force
Drag Brake Force
0%
20%
40%
8. Neutral Range
6% 9% 12%
I don't think 9-10 apply to electric trucks. 11, I can figure out on my own and 12 I'll put at 2 Cells.
the settings are really upto you.
here is what i would set it at:
1) 2
2) 2(this applies slight braking when you let the off the throttle, but have not yet applied any brake)
3) 5
4) 1 (softest setting. will save drivetrain)
5) 2 or 3. depends on how strong you want the brakes.
6) 2 is good. thats plenty of speed in reverse
7) 2 or 3. again, depends on how strong you want the brakes to be.
8) 2 is my fav. this one adjust how much trigger play there is between neutral and gas/brake
i forget which one is for motor timing. leave that one alone. the stock setting is best IMO.
on the lipo setting, i leave mine in "auto detect # cells" but sometimes i run a 3s. if you only plan to run 2s then that setting will do.
hope that helps.
