Page 10: Tuning Your Controller
USER MANUAL Luna BBSHD 2021-06-30 Ludicrous V2 Tuning Your Controller In the TUNE page you can store 3 different tuning profiles: ● STREET LEGAL ● TRAIL ● LUDICROUS The profile names are fixed, but the actual tuning is fully configurable. - Page 11 USER MANUAL Luna BBSHD 2021-06-30 Ludicrous V2 Each profile has these parameters to tune: ● Throttle Amps The throttle controls the phase Amps, and this slider sets the max available phase current at the throttle. Torque output is directly proportional to phase current, so the slider is ultimately setting the amount of torque your motor produces.
