ESC Throttle Issues
Hi all,
I recently bought a cheap Mag8 30A ESC to power my 1000kv outrunner with a 2170mah 3S TP Lipo, it works fine but the motor won't actually start spinning until the throttle position is past the 1/3 mark. Is there some programming feature of ESCs that enables you to set the throttle range or something? My ESC programming experience doesn't stretch past setting the LVC.
Cheers guys, any help is much appreciated.

RE: ESC Throttle Issues
Most ESC's have a fixed or automatic endpoints. Does your esc list this in the features? Another option is to set the subtrim in your radio so the motor starts at a lower throttle position.
