I tried out the code with the extra line in it, and wow what a difference!

the car is a lot smoother from a stop now and the throttle control actually feels a little better. I guess when you consider that before we gained almost another 20% usable range of throttle, it's quite a difference.

The motor amps can be controlled down into the single digits and I set the max throttlePos to 470. This actually correlates to an output of 487amps (according to the meter i have, anyway) and doesn't trip the overcurrent protection. When I was playing around with it before, 490 amps started to trip the overcurrent protection.

Good work Paul!
