This state-of-the-art ESC delivers excellent throttle and brake feel, a wide range of adjustability, and robust hardware\u003cbr\u003e\nfor racers seeking maximum performance on track.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nReedy Power has always been about providing quality, high-performance products for racers whose goal is the top step of the podium” said Rick Hohwart, Reedy Power’s brand manager and 40-year RC industry veteran. “The 880R is the culmination of months of testing, delivering the power, control, and reliability that racers demand.

In addition to working as a programmer, the Programmer2 functions as a LiPo battery voltage checker and as a USB firmware update device.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 880R ESC includes two modes that can be modified and saved independently from one another. Standard mode offers a wide variety of tuning options while Expert mode takes it one step further and opens additional options for more experienced racers and\/or racing classes that can take advantage of these advanced settings.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe following functions can be modified and saved using the Blackbox Programmer2:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrake\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOverall brake strength, frequency, drag brake, initial brake, and punch can be adjusted to perfect brake performance and feel in different vehicles and track conditions.
