Default Spectrum DX6 throttle adjust

Is there a way to get more throttle on my ESC on my Polaris? My radio says the throttle stick is at 100%. It doesn’t seem to have s much power as it used to. I wasn’t sure if you could do some programming to get the max out of the ESP or not. I’ll have to look up the brand on the ESC, it came with the Polaris Ultra I believe it is called.

Thanks,
Jim

you need to program the ESC so that it recognizes the end points as off and full throttle, not the other way around

That is correct, all of them are different but most you can program using a combination of stick position and counting beeps.

Thanks Andy I’ll try that tonight! I have been slow to get with the modern electrics and been out for a while but thought there was something to that. Thanks for all your help, I see you have many ,many posts.

"It doesn’t seem to have s much power as it used to."
Sounds like tired batteries to me.
If you have a watt meter, check and see how much the battery voltage is dropping when you throttle up.
