You should definitely adjust fault time to just 200ms (I hear some people go lower, haven’t tried it myself though), and adjust max duty cycle current limit start to be 85% or lower:

Question about duty cycle current limit start?

Max duty cycle – determines after which RPM VESC won’t drive the motor faster anymore. If you exceed this value you can still brake, however. (But if you brake at more than 100% duty cycle you might kill your ESC) (Use this value instead of Max ERPM to set a speed limit on your board.) Max duty cycle current limit start – determines the max duty cycle mulitplier (as of FW 5.3. On earlier firmwares this was an absolute value for the duty cycle) at which the ESC will decrease current from as you …
