Do yourself a favor and get a Noval Kinetic. It's better than both lpr and tekin. It's smoother than an lrp and a lot more tuning options than a tekin.

We are playing with some new software that will allow even more adjustments to the way the esc "feels."

NW does play a part in the deadband/initial feel of the esc. Some radios can run lower than others. The other setting you should be playing with is the EXP of your transmitter. + will get you what you're looking for.

I did some ESC tuning in my SC last night and it feels much better. I always leave the EXP curve on the speedo at neutral (3) and adjust from the radio. I've dialed in about 40-50% positive exp and it's much more immediate now. I haven't had a chance to try it on my Durango yet, as that is where it was MUCH more noticeable.
