In this mode, the brake amount equals to the brake force you've pre-set.<br>'''Reverse brake:''' After selecting this option, the Reverse Brake signal wire (its signal range must be the same as the throttle range) must be plugged into any vacant channel on the receiver. You can control the motor direction via that channel. The channel range of 0–50 % is the default motor direction, the channel range of 50 % to 100 % will cause the motor to spin counterclockwise. The channel stick should be within the channel range of 0–50 % (0 would be better) when the first time you power on the ESC. After the Reverse function is activated, the motor will stop first and then spin in the reversed direction and then increase to the speed corresponding to the throttle input. Either signal loss, no matter whether reverse brake signal loss or throttle signal loss during the flight can cause the throttle signal loss protection to be activated.<br>'''Linear reverse brake:''' After selecting this option, the Reverse Brake signal wire must be plugged into any vacant channel on the receiver, and you can control the motor direction via that channel. This channel should be set to a proportional control (usually a knob or slider on the transmitter). Turn the proportional control to activate the reverse function. The speed of the motor is controlled by the proportional control. When reversed, the initial throttle value is started at 10 %, and the throttle stroke of the linear switch is cured to 1.~~34 ms – 1~~.79 ms. The channel stick should be at 0 % throttle position when the first time you power on the ESC. Either signal loss, no matter whether reverse brake signal loss or throttle signal loss during the flight can cause the throttle signal loss protection to be activated.		# '''Brake type'''<br>'''Normal brake:''' Move the throttle stick to the bottom position.

	# '''Cut-off voltage'''<br>If set off, the low voltage protection function is disabled. In addition, the protection voltage value of the low voltage protection function corresponding to the low/medium/three modes is about 2.8 V/section, 3.0 V/section and 3.4 V/section. This value is the voltage of a single battery, multiplied by the number of lithium batteries automatically identified by the electronic governor or the number of lithium batteries manually set, which is the protection voltage value of the battery. (For example, if the low voltage protection threshold of 3 lithium batteries is medium, the protection voltage of the batteries is 3×3.0 = 9.0 V)		# '''Cut-off voltage'''<br>If set off, the low voltage protection function is disabled.
