Default How throttle limit works on Excelorin

Has anyone used the throttle limiter setting on the 1/10th sensored setup?

Am wondering, if you limit throttle on the software to 50%, will you then reach top speed at only 50% transmitter input, or will it spread the power over the whole transmitter movement still?

Would be using this with a cheapo 27am tranny without any adjustments, so need it to work purely off the esc settings??

I think you still have to move the stick all the way to get full throttle as normal. I've only ever trimmed mine down by 10 & 20% and the travel felt normal to me anyway!

I think you may have the wrong end of the stick there fella, a limiter on an ESC, generally refers to 'limiting' the power to the motor, not the EPA... so if the ESC can, say, pass 100A, limiting to 50% will limit power to 50A

I know what you mean, but In terms of it's physical effect though, it would have less top end yeah? And would it take full tranny travel to get the full speed?

you would have a little less top end, but really, it is less punch
