Setting Throttle Endpoints for 20 Month old Boy to Drive - 03.31.2008, 04:16 PM

Can I set throttle endpoint to be alot less travel to turn the power down without screwing up the esc heating anything up with partial throttle? I want to let my son drive my e-maxx, but want alot less power for a 20 month old boy to have....want him to learn early to drive an RC ;)

I do that quite a bit with my 5 year old - tone down my epa to 60% on my crt .5 - no ill effect that I've seen. (mm 7L 3s)

If you are running an evx it has the training mode 50% power and just leave the end points as is...

I was thinking it would be bad for water to get under the shrink wrap, into the pack, and stay there. It could corrode the connections between cells and whatnot...

Why not reduce the throttle using your transmitter?
