    So after doing this process, you then drive the car with the arrow pointing to 4 instead of max? So it will go flat out but only 50% brakes with the arrow on 4?

      @roobzruckers7626 Месяц назад +1

      I thought this, then I realised the way he's calibrated it:
      Throttle dual-rate has been adjusted so it's "out of 4". So having it set at 4 is effectively 4/4, so full throttle.
      Braking dual-rate has been adjusted so it's "out of 7". So having it limited at 4 (by having the dual-rate on the controller set at 4), means that it's effectively 4/7, or a little over half-brakes.
      If I'm understanding correctly.
      My question is, does this also affect the reversing speed?

    Awesome information. I'm sure this will work on the Arrma ESC's in my cars. Can't wait to try this out and stop the awkward landings and even front flips under strong braking. Might not go to 4 but will test around 5 maybe as you need a good amount of brake for the 6s cars. Thanks for this well explained tip!

    • @RazorRC
      @RazorRC  4 года назад +2

      cool, I think the Arrma ESCs are programmable using the Hobbywing LED card, so you can buy that and set your brakes in the ESC the proper way. This is more of a hack/workaround if the programming cards don't work.

  • @parkerkrakowiak2990
    @parkerkrakowiak2990 10 месяцев назад

    just to clarify at the end, does this mean that by limiting the brakes, we also have to have limited throttle because the dual rate can't go above where it was set when we're differentiating the throttle/brake values during this process? I couldn't do all this and then set the dual rate back to max and go full speed with the lessened brakes, because that would be like setting the brakes back to 100% and the throttle to 150%?

    • @parkerkrakowiak2990

  • @andykutscher1175
    @andykutscher1175 2 года назад

    Do you lose throttle trigger range / modulation when you do this...meaning is full throttle now half way through the trigger pull? I'd like to very much try this out but modulating the throttle on my brushless Pro2 SC10 is already hard enough I don't want to make that any more difficult if the throttle sensitivity is changed via this.

    • @RazorRC
      @RazorRC  2 года назад +1

      no problems, modulation will be exactly how you think it should be. Btw, the radio is pretty poor on modulation in general, it's part of what makes the Pro2 so hard to drive.
