• MINIMUM DRIVE
–Measured as percentage (%) of the Drive value.
–Amount of Drive applied with the first pulse of transmitter
throttle information (Figure 4).
–Increasing the Minimum Drive will make the speed control
begin at a greater percentage of Full Drive. This is useful for
tracks with good traction and for heavier vehicles to eliminate
‘dead’ trigger movement before the motor can actually move
the vehicle (and will increase the vehicle’s minimum rolling speed).
–Decreasing the Minimum Drive will make the speed control
start at a smaller percentage of Full Drive. This is useful for
tracks with low-bite and lighter vehicles where lower initial
power will give more controllability. This parameter is also a
valuable tuning asset for different types of motors.
