There's no doubt the ESC's throttle response is fantastic. With a little work on the brakes and the drag brae options, it would really be fantastic.
A bit of positive expo on the brakes seems to have done the trick. I think maybe it's not the overall strength I'm struggling with, but just how little brakes there are at the front of the trigger. I tend to not push forward very much at all. Other ESC's give you a lot up front.
I'll probably give a HW V3 a try once it's been out a while, but for now the BD is great.
