The Esc is a rebaged Castle creations Sidewinder.
You dont need the cord. Look at page 20 in the manual

I owe you a drink man!! Am i best off with brakes at 100%?

buy the memory card reader as my mate did and his esc is good the set on them are basic setting it will sort the brakes out . but no need for brakes set at 100% if its for bashing at the esc will heat up- qicker mate and try and get a fan for it or make a bracket with a fan i got a fan on the motor and esc keeps it cool . you need the card reader is a must

Ohm... No need for the brakes to be at 100%, just try something a little higher, give it a go, and then go from there.
