DX2E throttle throw mod?
 
If I recalibrate my DX2E on my NOVAK GTB3 so that when trigger is halfway back I have full throttle, but still calibrate for full brake throw as normal, will it damage the ESC if I exceed that 1/2 point with the trigger?

I want to glue a foam block on the handle, stopping the trigger at half pull back. I assume the tx is sending a pot value to ESC, so it would see 100% at halfway, and a value of 200% if I then pulled it back to the handle (without the block there.)... I also assume the ESC sends 100% to the motor and can't give more than that, so would simply ignore the higher value and stay at 100% to motor for the rear half of the pull...(if the block wasn't there.)

I don't like the feel of the full trigger depress, so I want to glue a foam block behind trigger on the handle and calibrate so that I hit full throttle when I hit the block, but still leave the full forward range for braking... make sense?

Just wondering if that will cause any issues, electronically or otherwise. Yeah, I know, upgrade controllers, but I have what I have for now. Thanks,

Nobody? I read a couple of Traxxas forum posts with their system, using the trim knob to "fool" the ESC and changing the effective braking range...kinda' the opposite of what I'm trying to do...

Should be fine.
