RPM to high

Post by combatgoblin »

I have the 35-30-1100 motor and a 6s battery which is two 3s on a y Harness.I am using this set up because I also wanted to do a twin for scale.My problem is even with my EPA all the way retarded I am still turning 18,000+ RPM is there a way to further reduce the RPM or am I going to have to get some 2S batteries to make it 5s.

Thank You Don

Did you reset the EPA to 100% before plugging in the batteries to the ESC? Some ESCs do not have a memory and they have to be reset everytime.

Use your sub trim. Set your subtrim at about -50% and that should let you slow it down to 17,500.

I finally got a chance yesterday to try the subtrims and I was able to get it to 17.400RPM.
Thank you for your help Lee and Ed.
