Did you install the software? If you didn't it has to run on any drive but the C:/ drive... Auto timing is what I use. and set it for 8s....No Brake, No reverse, Linear throttle. What else would you like to know.

IMO you might want to start with a smaller prop. It should work but maybe sneak up to it.

okay i need someones help getting this esc programmed.

my friend and i programmed it and it seemed to run okay however when i give full throttle and let go it stops instantly. isnt it suppose to stop softly?

LEOPARD 5698 D 835KV
8S



parameter setting

LVC = auto/5.0v/2cells/7.2v/8.4v/3cells/4cells...all the way to 20cells. (obviously 8cells lol)

BRAKE TYPES = NO BRAKE/SOFT BRAKE/HARD BRAKE (currently on soft brake)

CUTOFF TYPE = SOFT CUTOFF/HARD CUTOFF

PWM RATE = 8KHZ/12KHZ/16KHZ (currenly at 8KHZ)

CUTOFF VOLTAGE/CELL = (I havent set this cretiria yet. my options are 2.5v to 3.3v)

TIMING ADVANCE = LOW/MIDDLE/AUTO/ 0 DEGREES TO 30 DEGREES

START UP TYPE = SOFT/STANDARD/FAST

THROTLLE RANGE = (IT DOESNT LET ME SELECT THIS ALTHOUGH IT SAYS FADED "520" NUMBER ON IT)


guys help me out here. thanks

Change to No Brake. Throttle will be proportional. Also set the startup to Soft.

Soft cutoff. Cutoff voltage you can set to 3.2v but if you experience the controller limiting throttle during acceleration you may have to lower this value and time your runs. Timing, I like to set at around 2° for D wind.

Can anybody explain to me how this "auto timing" works? I've always been reluctant to use it, what does it base the automatic setting on?
