I heard setting the throttle end point back is a bad thing though. Does anyone know why that is? It's just simply giving the motor less throttle from the ESC so I don't see the problem. Does it have something to do with the lower efficiency from partial throttle compared to full throttle?
It's a myth, perpetuated by somebody that was "told" by "someone" that it would hurt the ESC. He then had problems, and incorrectly blamed his EPA setting. Just so you know, I have an identical setup to the guy that had problems. I used my EPA to set up the car, just like ANY OTHER CAR, and it works fine.
