7. mode programming
The Ultimo Drift features 4 modes which enable you to adjust it 100% to YOUR special requirements. The factory
settings are shown in grey colour.
• How to get into „programming the modes"
• How to check the stored values
• How to change the value
• How to get to the next Mode
• How to leave the programming mode
Important: do not turn the switch off before leaving Mode 4 (by one more press of MODE button) as otherwise your
recent changes won't be stored in the memory of the Ultimo Drift.
Table of settings, values and modes: see below (grey-shaded values show „works default settings")
MODE.1 (AutoCell System):
we recommend using value #2 for 4-6 cells NiMH racing purposes, which dis-
engages the LiPo protection.

Caution: the by far most common reason for false shutdowns is using the wrong value in this mode!
MODE.2 (Forward/Brake/Reverse - Forward/Brake):
Brushless or brushed it adapts automatically and here you can select between forward/brake/reverse and forward/
brake „racing style" operation.

MODE.3 (Power Profiles):
allows you to adjust the Ultimo Drift to your likes. Either you run on slippery or
high-traction surfaces, we have incorporated a profile for you!
Higher value means more overall power and more aggressive throttle response.

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.
For brushless motors you achieve the same natural slowdown as a brushed motor with no autobrake when you
set value 1.

9. special features
Internal-Temp-Check System:
the Ultimo Drift allows you to read-out the maximum internal temperature
that the speedo reached. To save it to the memory you have to briefly apply brakes after the run before you turn the
switch off. You can convienently read-out the temperature back in the pits since it remains stored until you turn it
on the next time regularly (which will reset the memory). This new feature allows you to accurately check if all is
running well or if you're close to shutdown already.
How to read-out the temperature:
Switch at „OFF" position.
Keep MODE button pressed while you turn switch to „ON" (then release button)
SET LED will start to flash blue (MODE LED's are off), now count the number of flashes.
The lower the number of flashes, the hotter the speedo ran, shutdown will occur at 6 flashes.
Every flash higher then 6 equals to 8°C temperature decrease.

AutoCell System:
Ready for the next battery technology – LiPo batteries! LRP's exclusive and smart AutoCell
System ensures that LiPo batteries can be used safely without accidentially deep-discharging of the cells. The
motor function will be shut-off and the SET LED will flash if the system recognises very low battery voltage.
Caution: the factory default is #1, which is „LiPo mode"! Make sure you change to #2 when running NiMH bat-
teries with 4 or 5 cells.
Changing Mode settings without the transmitter:
transmitter, but never mind since you can simply disconnect the receiver lead from the receiver and change the
MODE settings as described in section 6 „Mode Programming".
Works-Default-Settings:
All LRP speed-controls come factory-adjusted (defaults are grey-shaded above).
If you loose track of the modes, you can restore the works default settings. With the transmitter switched on,
hold the SET button pressed while you switch on the speed-control. This returns the unit to the LRP works default
settings.
Power Capacitor:
Never disconnect the power-capacitor! It offers increased punch and additional protection,
IceDrive Design:
LRP's secret IceDrive Design results in lower speedo temperature under all racing conditions.
Sorry, no further details to be disclosed. Simply a step ahead of the competition!
Sensored Brushless Technology:
Advanced Digital allows the perfect knowledge of the brushless motor's
magnet position. This results in perfect motor control at high and low RPM's, as well as perfect brake control.
Multi-Protection System, 3-way protection:
load and overheating. If your speed-control faces overload, the motor function will be shut-off for protection and the
SET LED will flash, although the steering function is maintained. Let the speed-control cool down for a few minutes.
If you experience frequent shutdowns, check for the following:
• Setting for AutoCell System (by mistake in LiPo mode when using NiMH batteries?)
• Correct gear ratio (refer to motor manual for gearing recommendations)
• Power Profile setting too high (higher value will heat up motor and speed-control excessively)
• Motor is too strong or motor is damaged.
