Outcast Outcast 6s insane power curve

[Silverback2002]

Hi All,
I was playing with my setting on the ESC. I reset the throttle calibration on the ESC. With the new 2019 version the transmitter allows for 50% 75% & 100%. When i put it in 50 I had no reverse. I re calibrated the Throttle in 50% and it seems OK but this thing is still absolutely crazy in 50%. Do I need to reset it again under 100% as the 50% calibration prob assumes its was at 100%. Hope this makes sense.

You're right, if you calibrated with the switch at 50%, the ESC thinks that's 100% now.

So after recalibrating at 100% now 50% seems much better but as a result 50 and 75 don't have any reverse. Even when moving the trims. Is this a known issue

Yes it has been a common theme. It’s the junk radio.

Seems like ESCs in general need more input in reverse to get going. I have the same thing on multiple trucks with my RC4g radios... If I set reverse to 50-60%, the ESC won't start. So I keep forward at 50% and reverse at 75+ % for my kid.

Of course, Spektrum should be aware of this and set the throttle limiter switch accordingly...

Ah can this be done on the spektrum stx2

I would use a 4s battery and gear down if the power level is an issue. Then you don't have to mess with those limit buttons.

Nope. So, what bickety said. You can also stick a piece of foam or rubber behind the trigger.

Personally I found my Kraton manageable out of the box on 6s... but I did already have some RC experience with 2wd vehicles that would just spin around when you punch it, so proper trigger discipline was needed to drive at all...
