When i enter for throttle max 166 and for throttle min 296 it just does nothing. And if i have it on the basic settings and i move the pedal i can see the red trottle bar going up and down for a little in the rtd explorer...
Do you mean that it goes from 2.42v down to 1.9v? In that case, you would set "throttle-max-rc" (or whatever the heck it's called) to anything LOWER than 495. I'd try 485 to allow for some dead zone for zero throttle. Then set "throttle-min-rc" to 389.

By the way, 495 = 2.42volts/5volts * 1024, and 389 = 1.9volts/5volts*1024.

The 1024 is because the A/D converter is 10 bits (2^10 = 1024), and it's on a scale of 0 to 5 volts. 0 volts corresponds to an A/D reading of 0, and 5v is 1023. oops, I used 1024 above. haha.
