Have I got this right or is punch mode active at all times, kind of like an expo throttle setting?
Thanks

This is my understanding of punch mod. it is like mentioned by another user, a throttle limiter on initial power application. Say 9 is top setting, you would be getting all the power or 100% of the motor as soon as you hit the throttle. Obviously, you still control how much power is commanded by the amount of trigger pull. If you drop down say to a punch setting of 5, you will only get maybe 20 to 30% less power for commanded trigger position at start. I have no idea what the real % is or at what RPM the esc will give you the normal 100% commanded by trigger. In a 2wd dirt vehicle this a very important adjustment and I personally use it in my F1 especially on low byte surfaces.
hope this helps
