    throttle question

    I had some problems at the lake yesterday I lost my settings on the ESC and when I pluged in the Lipos they were at full bore,, I quickly disconnected them and in the process touched the wires together for a split second my ESC has lost it's program settings, But any way I got the boat running and I have to pull back the trigger half way to get the boat to move, and then it is at 1/2 speed at least what do you think I screwed something up ? thanks chris

    bit of a burn looks like there. not good. :-(

    sounds like you will have to completely reprogram the ESC from scratch.

      try recalibrating and messing with the epa on your throttle if it is adjustable. I've had to set a the epa to 0 for negative throttle on a tx once.

        I played with EPA and trim it is much better but hard to tell if it is proportional and the trigger matches the RPM as I don't want to over REV it,, thanks for waking up my brain Chris

          looks like you are ready for a on the water test then. Or put a air prop on so you have a load on the motor.

            Try reversing the throttle setting on your transmitter.
