 Of course the TCB has provisions for brake and running lights which you can adjust in several ways. See the [[wiki:opconfig:tabs:lightsio#brake_and_running_lights|Lights & I/O tab]] of OP Config for more on these settings. Of course the TCB has provisions for brake and running lights which you can adjust in several ways.

 +**Note:** If you set the **Change Direction Delay** to 0, and if acceleration and deceleration constraints are disabled (all settings on the [[wiki:opconfig:tabs:driving|Driving tab]] of OP Config), then braking no longer occurs. Instead stick movements in the opposite direction of travel will result in the model changing direction instantaneously. This gives you control similar to what you may be used to with a stock Heng Long.

 If you disengage the transmission while the model is moving, it will coast to a stop subject to your deceleration constraint. While coasting you may still steer and use the brake if you need to stop quickly.  If you disengage the transmission while the model is moving, it will coast to a stop subject to your deceleration constraint.

 +==== Onboard Red & Green LEDs for Troubleshooting ====

 +You can use the onboard Red and Green LEDs to verify that your board is responding properly to your radio. While driving, the Green LED indicates forward movement, the Red reverse movement, and both on at once indicate braking. The LEDs are off when stopped. When performing neutral turns, the Green LED blinks during turns to the right and the Red LED blinks during neutral turns to the left ([[wiki:opconfig:tabs:driving|if neutral turns are enabled]]). When not driving, a solid Red LED indicates the TCB is not in normal operation mode: either because it is still booting up, or because the user has entered a [[wiki:tcb:operation:specmenus|Special Menu]], or because it is paused in order to communicate with a PC. In Special Menus the Red LED will remain solid and the Green LED may blink to indicate certain information or steps. When communicating with the PC, the Red LED will remain solid and the Green LED will blink slowly.
