the throttle cur is trtigger throw - power, is 0%trigger throttle = 0% power, all the way up to 100% that would be linier, but u can adjust it so at 50% throw u have 100% power etc and so on in any conbination... basically changes the the ration of trigger pull to how much power is delivered. the brake is the same thing except for the brake, but since us crawlers have drag brake and reveres is kind of irrelivant |

X2 Personally I make the curve climb really gradual (not steep) so you have more low end control. Then close to the end I spike it to the top so you can use max wheel speed when you need it. Same goes for your brake/reverse curve. Make it less touchy so you dont lose your line but keep your full throttle at the end so you can use it when your upside down to get righted again. |

i find with mine that there is a lot of deadband in the throttle. what i do to fix that is at 1% trigger i have around 25% throttle, so it will start the motor almost instantly when i get on the trigger. this will vary with different setups (even gearing will effect it) so it can take some playing around. from there i ramp it up to about 60% throttle for 75% input, then from there to 100% at 100% trigger. i find it works well to gives extra low end control, especially when you run 3s and a 35 turn.

It's hard to say what curve is ideal for a crawler....everyone is different. Even the slightest change in the curve, throttle or brake, will make a difference. A steep curve will be real "snappy" and less forgiving. That's typically how I like to set mine. Takes allot of trial and error, but the best thing is to just keep tuning on your curves till you find a set up you like. | |
