EPA, does it affect the esc? - 03.19.2006, 05:18 PM

Okay, so I am running a braking servo harnessed with the esc into the throttle outlet. If I use the end point adjustment feature, I know it will adjust the end point for the servo, but will it adjust the end point for the esc?

In a word,yes.:027:
But if you're just reducing the braking side of the throttle channel then you'll still get full throttle.

If you have a radio with 3 channels and channel mixing,then you can use 3rd channel for the servo and have seperate epa for the mechanical and controller brakes (if you're still using controller brakes aswell)

Edit: there's a thought,if you use the same channel then the servo will move in the throttle direction too,i guess you meant can you set the throttle side of that channel to zero,the answer is no(not if you want to move-lol).If you have a 3rd channel with mixing then use 3rd channel for servo,mix with throttle channel and set throttle epa of 3rd channel to zero.then it will only move in the brake direction and the controller will still see full throttle.

Do you have a 3rd channel with mixing for the servo? if not then you won't be able to reverse that channel or you're esc won't work and you'll have to have the arm on the other side of the servo instead.

I just had a look at the manual PDF,doesn't look like the MX-3 does channel mixing,sorry.JR xr3,xs3 and the spektrum dx-3 do.

This isn't really a problem,you just need a nitro style sliding brake linkage,so the servo will move in the throttle direction but the brake linkage won't.Then just adjust the brake side of the throttle channel to adjust your brake EPA.simple.you can't reverse the channel though,you'll just have to mount the servo arm on the other side of the servo.
