Trying to get an idea of the best way to calibrate the Jive Pro throttle endpoints and program mode 4. I have the master/throttle cable plugged into AUX in the Spirit, and get movement in the diagnostics screen. I've adjust travel to get all the other channels to -100 0 +100, but assume I should just leave the throttle end points in the Spirit alone? They're a ways off from being -100 0 +100 like the rest of the channels. It's just passing the throttle signal right through to the Jive Pro correct? Would I be better off adjusting the travel to -100 0 +100 in the diagnostics tab, and THEN programming mode 4/throttle end points for the Jive?

Thanks!

Hello,

you are correct.

The best way is to set throttle range to be in 0 - 100% in the software (Diagnostic tab) and then to recalibrate throttle range in the ESC.
Spirit is just resending throttle channel, but range may be little bit different than with your previous connection - so recalibration is needed.

If recalibration is a problem, you can even use Subtrim for Throttle channel to move the range so it will fit your previously calibrated throttle curve.
If you are not using governor from the unit, then matching 0 - 100% in the software is not necessary.
