Throttle Curve

[ELEMENT]

I installed my Tekin FXr the other night and I was setting it up and I noticed that it had adjustable throttle curve. I just bypassed this option because I didnt exactly know what or how I wanted it setup. Later as I looked @ the intructions they gave a brief description on what the throttle curve is and showed a small diagram for the different options. It looked to me that it was just settings that changed how much juice was given to the motor @ certain throttle positions. Kinda like adjusting the trigger to suit your needs. Can any of you guys give me a more in depth decription of this and some examples of how it should work and why would I change it in the first place?


Thanx ELEMENT

Well... let me try to explain it a little...

The "curve" discription comes from how it looks on a graph...

Its really hard to discribe...

With no curve you have this...

At 50% throttle position (the actual trigger) you have only 50% of the power... at 25% of throttle position, you have 25% of the power.


Now you add a curve...

Here at 25% throttle position you have almost 50% power... making the RC take off really quick at barley pulling the triggerin...

But once you get at 50% throttle position..... your at 75% power...and it tapers down to 100% from there.

reverse the curve for crawlers..

you would want a slower take off... gives you the ability to have a bit more finesse... doesn't Jump or Take Off fast... it responds slower... but when giving it full power... you get it all fast and up front.

Hope this helps.

that is what I was thinking....so if I go with more of a concave profile then the trigger will be less sensitive but if a go full throttle it will give me all the power fast....I may try this before the comp Sun. Currently I am running the esc on a linear profile which I believe is the first pic that you posted...and if I got my directions correct ,the second pic is convex and not concave. Thanx for the help Silas much help:) see ya Sun.
