Throttle limit will make you faster | Throttle cap on potentiometer with OpenTX

[@froggystvkw7603]

Hi, I tried it yesterday and I feel wayyyyyyyyyy better with the throttle. So yeah thx for the tuto. Thumb up and sub.

[@nayt33z]

omg dude I have done this to all my quad profiles since I saw your video. This has been invaluable to tame all my quads. Awesome tutorial bud thank you so much!

[@speedy0_FPV]

throttle limit is actually insane, put it to 50% ,train lines, go full speed, do it again. and pro tip: use a stacksaver, they are like 3 bucks and it will save you a lot of escs/flight controller. well made video btw. happy flying :D

[@trumblez]

Thanks, no other youtuber solved my problem this fast and made it this practical (with the potentiometer)!

[@ErgoFPV]

Thanks, mate. Comments like yours make me think I should start recording videos again :)

[@jimvincent9522]

Thank you for the fine tuning of the range for the adjustment. Perfect!

[@windwalkerproductions]

Thanks!! I set this up on my TP3, I'm now able to rip in my little yard. SO MUCH FUN, going to set this up on all my quads.. Really makes every setup more versatile! Subbed.

[@keitharoo1962]

I have been trying and trying to figure out how to do this. Thank you!!!! You made it so easy. Much appreciated, my friend!

[@786free1]

Thanks. However if I want to llimit the throttle limit even further below (say to 35%) what would the weight and the offset settings be?

[@lethuer]

I wondered because this first didn’t work for me with my Tango 2. But figured out why: Tango II XF 6.10 delivers the option to bypass gimbals which saves about 1ms latency. So if you want to use different Throttle Limits over a Switch be sure not to select any mode in general radio settings. It will only work if you select freedom tx like in the past in general radio settings of the tango 2.

[@MrYelijun]

Thank you to share “The secret”. I just try it and feel more and more love my quad.

[@noelcruz7447]

Awesome! Adjustment in a bliss. Thank you. Keep doing videos like this. Following you now. Thanks.

[@roidbear5]

Thank you for the tips and tricks. I just found your channel on KZbin and I like how you present the information. Thanks once again!

[@ErgoFPV]

Thank you! There’s more stuff coming :)

[@MaxPayneLane]

I built a slow quad for drl simulator and I'm way faster with it on a gp course. I was wondering if throttle limit was a thing, now I know. Thanks for sharing how to get this set up.

[@d3c0deFPV]

I agree with your theories for the most part, especially when it comes to throttle limit, but I think that learning to fly at different camera angles is something you should do early on. In my experience, people that the people who learn to only fly at one angle have trouble adjusting later, which is important if you start to get fast enough to need steeper angles like 55-60 degrees. By learning the mechanics behind camera angle and learning to approximate the required movements and adapt, you gain a skill you otherwise wouldn't be practicing. This will help you go between something like a Tiny Whoop and a 5" race quad with more ease.

[@ErgoFPV]

Oh, I absolutely agree. I noticed that myself too - as soon as you put enough stick time into several rigs with different cam angles you don’t care that much about it anymore. But you have to get a grip on both extremities, 10 degrees for tiny/cine whoops and 50-60 degrees for racers.

[@stratometer]

I had mine on a 3 positon switch, but i like the pot idea! Nice! Thanks!

[@dcsmith5839]

Thanks for posting.Good info,clear presentation

[@olivergreaves5665]

Nice technique, well explained. Thank you.

I don't race but this will help me stay on Earth with 6s. Thanks.

[@AsgardStudios]

Excellent tutorial! Thanks so much for sharing this.

[@getreza]

Man, great tweak...had to sub...so glad to have found your channel...keep up the great vids.👍

[@dand.1941]

What would be the values if I want to limit the throttle down to 40 %? Thanks😊

[@motiv8154]

Why ThanQ good siR... I learnt something today😉 I guess I will be making the shift to 6s soon! 🤪

[@Wtf_drone_productions]

thanks i hope this helps! it was super easy to set up

[@sorryinputerror]

Awesome tip. Thanks

[@fisken1]

What would i change the numbers to if i want to have this but inverted. Like make it work the same way but turn the knob the other way

[@MABdrone]

Nice! I will apply it right now!

[@zer001]

Top Video!

[@quetiano]

.... And start twisting my knob....aaahahahaha🤣 Awesome and very helpful video thank you!

Hey I got a tracked vehicle with centered stick control with reverse. How do I limit my throttle with a pot?

[@federicosagun4615]

Thanks for sharing

Excellent I like this method best. Cheers

[@MyTube4Utoo]

A very good video and information. Thank you!

[@Dec1duousTree]

Thank you!

[@djs134]

Is there any difference between doing this and just changing your throttle to scaled and 75 percent in the osd under rate profile? I ask because I have a tango 2 with no potentiometer

[@sufysprojects2689]

8:16 the throttle resolution is actually higher

[@ErgoFPV]

You’re absolutely right :)

Subd. You got a good way of explaining things. Keep it up!

[@HakanAras]

I fitted a powerful motor to a light aircraft with a lion battery. Can I prevent it from damaging the battery by drawing too much current with this method? I think even half strength will suffice.

[@ChirpFPV]

It should

[@subhajitsaha992]

Brother u r great .... U actually show a way wht I like much and serching ... I saw u also make cinehoop ... I saw yr one vedio of cinehoop so expecting u make ... Brother exactly this problem happen with me ....I don't need super fast drone for race I want a gental smooth flipable movable trunable but fully controled quad .... Yes I wanna make a cinehoop ... Can u suggest me wht bitaflight vertion I need and pid tunes wht modes is best for cinehoop ... Can u pls share yr cinehoop experience with us ???

[@ErgoFPV]

Hey. Not sure if you have seen that already, but you can find the details of my Cinewhoop setup on the build page rotorbuilds.com/build/20986 One caveat though - my build is rather unusual as it is very light and was put together for carrying a Hero 5 Session camera. For larger GoPros it would be fairly underpowered. I don't have a lot of personal experience with "classic" Cinewhoops, but JB recently did a pretty good roundup on a few of them, maybe that can be helpful for you kzbin.info/aero/PLwoDb7WF6c8lphYruuwDNLR4TP0_u3Xaa But yeah, thanks for the suggestion, probably my Cinewhoop setup might be interesting to some pilots out there, so I might make a video on it.

[@CHDGREATEST]

Hi Friend, so it means that when we set it like the way you do it will set for all the quad we have (only set it for one time), or we have to set it again for each every quad that we have?

[@knyng]

PERFECT!

[@onemanmob6756]

It's not only good for racing - one can benefit from it also in freestyle - if normally not using 100% of throttle - by adding throttle limit the resolution goes up - and it's pretty obvious that with more resolution comes more precision (imagine a deep dive followed by a tight gap)

[@SbangFPV]

Amazing

[@subhajitsaha992]

Brother really yr information is logical nd easy to consume ... I like it ... Thanks for yr all info in this chanel ..I saw one by one ... For this vedio I hv a condition ....u make a throttle cap switch that's great nd easy nd handy much ....but did u said when we need to chenge cap mean after use 100 throttle at some place I decide to go with 70 % then I need to disarm my quad first ,??????? Can't I apply it during a running quad ? Pls let me conform that part ? If somehow I manage to adjust throttle % at running quad it will be easy more ..... Do u hv any suggestion bro ?

[@ErgoFPV]

You don’t have to disarm the quad to adjust the limit. If you manage to take your fingers off one of the sticks and turn the knob while keeping the quad in the air - you can do it. The limit is applied in real time as you change the knob position. In the video I disarm the quad to check where the limit is at, and to do that I raise throttle to the maximum and see what the throttle indicator in Betaflight OSD shows. But you can totally do it by feeling while in the air, and if you have a radio with side sliders, like X9D, you can even make it comfortable.

[@uavtech]

Love it. Great tip!!

[@anagami528]

does it work on flysky transmitters (in my case i6X) as well? ...btw. you are THE guy!!!

[@ErgoFPV]

Thank you! I don't think you can make it work on i6X because it does not run OpenTX and offers less customisation options. What you can do instead is use the OSD menu if you run Betaflight 4. You go to the OSD menu by throttle to the centre, yaw left, pitch forward, then enter PROFILE, then RATE, then page down to see THR LIM * options. You set THR LIM TYPE to SCALE and THR LIM % to the desired throttle cap percentage. Then you yaw right to bring the quick exit menu and choose SAVE & EXIT. It is less convenient than a potentiometer because you need to bring up and navigate the menu. Even more, it does not allow you to quickly check what the cap is at because throttle indicator in the OSD shows the position before Betaflight does the capping, so it always shows 0-100% and to see the actual cap you need to visit the menu. But performance wise it is the same, so you can use it for getting better at track lines exactly as I did in the video. Cheers!

[@dwalosie]

Hey it's working thanks!

[@nuhbiwan]

Thx bro. Good video

[@MrUsatysfakcjonowany]

For me this regulation works somehow strange. reacts only in 1/3 of the position of the knob. Is this rather normal? I have x-lite

[@ErgoFPV]

Could it be that the knob is not calibrated properly? On QX7 there is a small dead zone at the beginning of the range but otherwise the whole rotation is working. There is a calibration option somewhere in OpenTX menu, I would try it.

[@MrUsatysfakcjonowany]

@@ErgoFPV ok i will try, thanks

Works perfect after calibration, thanks again :D
