Default Adjusting throttle stick position to revs in sound module

Hi all, new here and have a question for you. I bought one of the Chinese sound boards (similar to Servonaut but not so pricey) and put it in my Tamiya Scania which for all intents and purposes, works well. I set it up as per the standard instructions and after reading a thread here about the same unit. have my truck running on a Spektrum DX6 transmitter.

My question is, can you actually adjust the matching of the revs to the position of the throttle stick somehow? As it is, it sounds good but I’d kinda like it to rev higher earlier in the throttle stick position if possible.

.I’ve googled around and the closest I’ve got was someone suggested to another guy that they set up a new model in their transmitter but use the standard heli set up as the starting point instead of a plane. Then use a mix between the throttle and pitch curves to hopefully work.....couldn’t find anything to say whether or not this actually worked unfortunately.

I thought id tap into the wisdom here and I’d ask here if there is a better way before going to the trouble of creating a new model set up.

Sorry if this is a bit of a newb question. I look forward to your guidance.

Thanks very much
Kurt

I don't run sound kits, so i don't know.

I was wondering if you could dial in more dead area Expo to make it come into power sound sooner with slower movement?

Maybe lowering your EPA will reduce speed, but might make the sound top out sooner?

If you want it to rev sooner, you have to control it on a different channel, one that is mixed with your throttle channel. You can set a different curve to the second one, tricking it to believe you have more throttle than you actually have.

Thanks guys, much appreciated. Glad to hear I am on the right track. I’ll give that a shot as soon as I get the chance.
