MMP Start Power

[Lauri]

I just ran first time the MMP with 1/10 touring stock 17.5. Have ran it before with 1/8 buggy. Everything worked nice. MMP with CHEAT was many tenths faster than the regular ESCs - very very nice. I think there will be many MMPs in the stock class after yesterday's race ;)

But my question for you is about the Start Power setting (low, medium, high). I searched the forum but didn't find an answer. Can you give me the "boring technical" explanaition about it? What does it actually change? How does it affect the performance? Lets say I have top notch battery, should I go with medium or high? Or how would I know if I can use high setting?

I tried all three settings. With "high" setting it did "kill the battery" after 3 minutes of 17.5T touring car running (just like warned). Brought the battery performance/voltage down. The same battery works very well with 5.5T modified touring car with Novak GTB.

Would it help if I run additional caps to save the battery and still use "medium" or "high" Start Power setting? MMP has very low capacity internal caps. Would few external 2700uF or 4700uF caps "help" the battery when running "medium" or "high" Start Power?
