i have my 500 setup in non gov mode. i have checked it twice. it beeps twice on program 4. but i have my throttle curves set at 85 in idle 1 and 100 in idle 2 straight across, but when i switch from 1 to 2 there is no change at all. it sounds llike it is in gov mode and maxed out at 85. any ideal's,thanks joe

Did you have a linear throttle curve whem setting up your esc?

yamahajoe · 01-15-2008, 04:08 PM

yes i did.

Have you tried to spool it up at zero pitch and slowly raise the throttle from lets say 60% all the way to 100%. Maybe you can be able to hear the difference that way. I assume you have no way to tach it?

If you have WEAK packs or packs that are not performing well then good chance you will not see much of a RPM difference between 85 and 100!

Please explain your full power setup e.g. pinion, packs, etc...

Cool glad you got it figured out... What do you think was wrong the first time though?
