PPM: Full Duty-Cycle at approx. 15% Throttle

I'm using the VESC 6 Beta with 118kv Trampa Motor (FOC, sensorless) on a Street Carver Board. I control via PPM (using rc car equipment). The problem being that i get full duty cycle already at very low throttle position. This especially noticeable when testing without load. Suprisingly enough driving the board was sort of OK (at least @22V). Will still have to test @44V. Nevertheless the effect was still there: I reach full speed with hardly any pull on the throttle. What can I do about it?

It seems I cannot add images, so here's a Link to the photo:

When in actual use, it works best if the throttle commands the current and not something else. 

 

When there is no load, even a small current will be able to reach full speed. That's simply the way it is. That's how it is supposed to work.

As Rodger said, its not voltage controll but current controll, so a load has to be applied.
