[NSRCA-discussion] Hacker ESC Programming

[MKMSG]

There are two programming options on the Hacker 90 Acro for throttle: auto 
and fixed.  You can set either the low end, or the high end, or both to 
autodetect.  However, if you know the high and low throttle pulse width of 
your transmitters throttle channel, you can set the ESC to those specific 
settings.  I've used nothing but auto detect for the past several years but 
since I have the equipment to measure the pulse width of my throttle 
channel, I may set the ESC to those numbers and see if there's any 
difference in the way it performs.
