Other people have probably figured this out, but I have not till tonight. In fact no matter how much searching, and all the threads I have read on this forum about the settings for this ESC, I have never found the answer to what the "Neutral Range" setting does. It seems that others, from the reading I have done, have not found what it does either. So here we go.
The Neutral Range is described as the following in the manual:
11. Neutral Range
As not all transmitters have the same stability at “neutral position”, please adjust this parameter as per your preference. You can adjust to a bigger value when this happens.
Say what??? From reading this it is very unclear what they are trying to tell us. However when playing with this setting I have discovered its purpose.
The default setting is option 4 or 0.05ms. At this setting with my Flysky FS-GT3C my truck has always driven forward if you turn off the transmitter while the ESC is on. I always figured this was a communication difference between where the transmitter thinks neutral was and where the ESC thought neutral was.
When I adjusted this up one value at a time the amount of forward movement decreased. For my transmitter, I needed to go to the highest setting, Level 9 or 0.12ms. Once this setting was input into the ESC the forward movement and rotation of the motor has stopped."thumbsup"
Now there is another thing this setting changes. If you leave it set at the default value, the trigger response to forward or reverse motion was instant with even the slightest trigger movement ,which made it hard to control at the lowest speed. Once you increase the "Neutral Range" setting you have more neutral range on the throttle trigger of the transmitter. This means that there is a little more distance before the truck moves when you pull the throttle trigger which really smooths out your initial starting movement thus making crawling more precise and easier to control.
For me this makes a huge difference in the way the truck drives and I am very excited that I have finally found out what it does. I hope this helps someone else out there.
