Anyone (I am sure you all know) how the xl-1 esc works? Mainly, what do the little neutral and proportional things do? What about any setup that is needed for esc?

I checked the traxxas website for a manual for the esc but was unsuccessful.

Thanks,
Duneslider

NEUTRAL CONTROL


The neutral is like centering a servo set your throttle trim in the middle (zero) then take a small screw driver and adjust the plastic neutral screw till the LED goes out neither red or green BUT MAKE SURE YOU DONT TURN THE SCREWS MORE THAN A HALF TURN in either direction


PROPORTIONAL CONTROL

After setting neutral control pull your trigger to full throttle and adjust the proportional controls so the motor runs at its fastest speed once again dont turn the screw more than half a turn



When the throttle is pulled a green light should emit from the LED and red when in reverse if this is oppisite then reverse your throttle servo on your Transmitter




there you go all this was para-phrased from my Rustlers operating booklet so its accurate

Thanks for the reply, that helped a lot. I looked at the manual on traxxas website but I must have missed that page. It appears it is setup correctly right now. I guess that is good.

That rustler looks really really good. Which body did you use? 190mm or 200mm? And what is that wing from? It looks very good though. Excellent job! I am impressed with how low on the chassis the body sits. It actually looks pretty low profile. Love those rims too.
