Just wondering if anyone knows of a dictionary/encyclopedia sort of thing (online) that explains a lot of the mysterious terminology used in ESC instruction manuals?

EG: Drive frequency. I've had this explained to me as perhaps providing a little more punch out of the corners, or it just makes things smoother when it's turned up. Can't seem to find the true, concrete answer.

So, if you know of such a resource, please let me know.

Thanks!

hey man,

I usually just google something if I don't know a term,

sometimes I use urban dictionary but that's mostly slang terms although there is alot of 'jargon' there also.

As for your question, a higher drive frequency will give you slightly more punch but it will also heat the motor quicker.

Brushed motors all use pulse width modulation but when they're at full throttle they're straight dc anyway.

Brushless motors well I failed that course so it seems like magic to me

Cheers

Since when do you not know something?

That's a bit nasty

I meant it as a good thing ie if you need info you are the guy to ask sorry if i offended

lol okay dude i get ya drift now cheers

Drive frequency is a system for controlling the rotational speed of an alternating current electric motor by controlling the frequency of the electrical power supplied to the motor.

google knows all!
