- the torque limiter seems to total cancel the effect of the punch control, and like one of you said before, generate some strange crawling/cogging à start

- the power limiter works perfectly ! And it's a good thing for people who want different power/speed for their different applications without changing pinion or voltage

My setup : 70% punch control, 4 timing, no drag brake...

==> I noticed that the fan is always on since the new firmware, and I wonder if it has something to do with the power limiter. Indeed, correct me if I am wrong, limiting the power will heat a little more the FET of the ESC no ?

NuZ --

The Kv test reports Kv as electrical Kv. So it will show "true" Kv on a two pole motor. Your 1600Kv motor is a 4pole, so it will show exactly double the "real" Kv. So, with timing (as programmed) the Kv of your motor is about 1900.

The torque control software should be set to a pretty high value in a setup where there is little wheel spin (low torque control). If you have a lot of wheel spin, set it lower (high torque control.)

For torque control, low values mean low torque, high values mean high torque. For a high voltage system, you will want to run pretty high values.

Torque control works completely differently than punch control. Punch control limits throttle change rate -- so if you go from "off" to "full" throttle, punch control will slowly raise the throttle to full over, say, half a second.

Torque control works by limiting the amount of torque the motor is allowed to make. It's a true closed-loop torque control.
