Abstract
A system and method are provided for low power electronic speed control for a model vehicle. A remote controlled model vehicle system may comprise a motor, a transmitter, a receiver, and an electronic speed control device. The electronic speed control device comprises a user interface and is at least configured to control a magnitude of average power applied to the motor in response to a user input. The electronic speed control device can operate under at least two profiles, wherein a desired profile is selected by the user. In one embodiment, under a first profile the electronic speed control device applies 100% magnitude of average power to the motor in response to maximum forward throttle, and under a second profile the electronic speed control device applies a percentage magnitude of average power lower than 100% and greater than 0% to the motor in response to maximum forward throttle.
