can someone explain throttle endpoints with ESC?
 
messing around with my radio tonite and noticed that i could raise my EPA (end point adjustment ) past 100% all the way up to 140%, this brought a couple questions to mind. First when i calibrate my ESC for full throttle/brake/neutral with the controllers endpoints set at 100 or at full 140 will i notice any difference? or will the ESC still recognize that as full throttle? and secondly if i had it set at 100 percent and calibrated my esc with it at that setting would raising it to 140 be causing it to push any more/too much power possibly damaging things? im looking to crank as much power out of my truck as possible and have a temp gun to make sure im not raising the temps too high. any help from the guru's is appriciated :)

interesting, so what your guessing is that you would still get the same power but with more control/smoothness? (im horrible with electronics so all the talk of pulse width and such confuses the hell out of me haha:lol:)

so from what i can gather the best setup seems to be set my EPA at about 130%, then calibrate the esc, then crank the EPA up to about 135-140%?

cool, thanks! im gonna head out to the track today and try it out

insert small *face palm*

some esc's will have an issue with a calibration at less than the radio's max % others will not. NONE will have an issue when the % is set to the max epa.

Max out the radios throttle epa % and you're guaranteed to have no issue.
