Yeah I get how EPA works, but how does the max throttle limiter work? I just assumed it did the same thing as lowering EPA. So if you set the throttle limiter to 75%, is that accomplishing the same thing as turning the EPA down to 75% (providing you calibrated the ESC with EPA at 100%)? I guess with the throttle limiter you would still have the full range and resolution of your throttle trigger?

IMO the torque limiter is in fact a current limiter. Concerning the power limiter, if the power is too limitated i suspect the ESC to heat a little more than usual. That could explain why with this firmware the fan is always ON...

The torque limiter is not exactly a current limiter, but it works similarly (the difference being that the torque limiter isn't reactive -- in other words, it doesn't react to changes in current, it actively controls torque, which in effect controls current...) Make sense?
