All of our controllers are programmable.
See the few tips for these controllers below.
Please use the link below to download the data sheet of higher power controllers. There you can find many important information on pages 4 and 5 of this manual, the right connection of controller on page 6, dimensions on pages 35-36 and correct usage of antispark cable on pages 40-41.

Please also see following important tips below:
1) please see this PDF very carefully, it shows how to correctly use integrated antispark and connect batteries. This is very important:

2) please see also mounting tips how to correctly mount the TMM25063(similar for TMM40063-3). It is necessary to use rubber spacers under screws and insulating foil(melinex, mylar-lightened polyester) between controller and mounting bracket(if the bracket is conductive – metal, carbon).

3) please also see our youtube video-guides. This video guide shows most needed situations (video #1 - video #6): (these are for X1 but it's very similar to X2)

4) Regarding receiver feeding. There are two possible solutions.
Solution a) The link below is relevant only if you will use for feeding receiver and servos the „External BEC“ . Please turn OFF the external BEC before plugging or unplugging the antispark cable.
(if you will use for feeding receiver and servos the „External Batteries“ then please do NOT care about the link below):
Solution b) We recommend to use the „External Batteries“ for feeding receiver and servos, for example up to 2s Li-pol battery. In this case please follow the instruction about „how to use the integrated antispark“ described in point 1. Note: In this case It is better to unplug the antispark cable right before the run of the vehicle.
5) To access the ESC settings you need to do the following:
connect the USBCOM5 to PC and to the controller. Open Controller2 software.
Now turn the controller ON and it should access the settings.
You can find it in the video guide #3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xB8sfhl1gmw
6) Regarding the settings of throttle limits. You can follow this video guide and try to set up the throttle limits. You will have to repeat this procedure each time you turn ON the controller. It is meant for testing without PC. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VogImUSasI
If you would like the controller to remember the throttle limits, you will need to use our application Controller2 on PC. There is the video guide:

7) I will recommend you few settings of parameters in our Controller2 software.
The sofware Controller2 can be found on the link below.
http://www.mgm-controllers.com/downloads.html
Please set the parameter P52: Motor timing to 10 degrees for TP motors, or according to recommendation of motor manufacturer.
Please set P16: acceleration to 3.0 sec. or more. It is necessary to check the peak currents from history log after short test before lowering the value!
the P22: Brake intensity to about 80%, parameter P21: Freewheel to Yes.
If you don’t want to brake at all then please set the parameter P7: Throttle – stop/neutral to the same value like parameter P8: reverse/brake(around value of 1000 according to your throttle limits).
Regarding the batteries. You can set the UNI voltage in parameter P42 to 3.7V and then accordingly P43,P78,P44,P45. It is described on pages 12 and 13. The batteries should be always fully charged in moment of their connection to the controller!
The currents and behavior will also depend greatly on mechanical parts like propeller. Please see the guide from a propeller manufacturer below.
When searching for the perfect prop we need to balance three important factors, Top Speed, heat buildup in Batteries, Motor & ESC (electronic speed control) and the ability for the hull to get up on plane. Most Electric kit boats come with props that will work in a wide range of applications. Changing to the right prop with a kit boat will almost always yield a performance increase. Always start out with a smaller prop and work up to the optimum size. Never put too large of a prop on electric boat first. This will lead to burnt up ESC, Motor or Batteries. Bigger is not better in every case, this is particularly true in high RPM motors. To run at their best efficiency they need to spin fast. Too large of a prop will not allow the prop to reach its best RPM efficiency range and will cause heat build up in the ESC, Motor or Batteries. On the first run with the new prop, run it at full speed for twenty to thirty seconds, observe how quickly the boat got on plane and the top speed. If the controller cuts out the power during the run, then stop immediately. Then pull the boat out of the water and to test for heat, have an adult give the motor the 5 second test. Which is, hold your finger on the motor for 5 seconds. If it‘s so hot you can't hold it for 5 seconds, it‘s too hot. Allow to cool fully before running again! If everything is cool or warm, keep doing this test until the pack starts to dump. DO NOT RUN THE PACK TO 0% CAPACITY! This will cause lots of heat and ruin your test results(and batteries). At the end of the run, if things are warm but not hot, swap to a larger prop. You can also check history logs from the controller to find out real current peaks. Then change settings accordingly.

Please also see following important tips below:
1) please see this PDF very carefully, it shows how to correctly use antispark wire and connect batteries. This is very important:

- antispark resistor should be soldered to the connector in series

I will recommend you few settings of parameters in our Controller2 software. Please set the parameter P52: timing to 15 degrees for Lehner motors or 10 degrees for Castle motors, P16: acceleration to 2.0 sec. or more(for cars), 5.0 sec. (for boats and planes). It is necessary to check the currents from history log after short test before lowering the value! The P22: Brake intensity to about 80%, parameter P21: Freewheel to Yes.
I hope this helps. :)
