Thanks for your advise. I know phone call make thing easy...but I had difficulty to call them out from my country. the US timezone is exactly 12 hours back from my country. I had send a lot of email to follow up with them....seem not a quick feedback....I had give up, anyway I may purchase new motor or repair the rotor my self...

Is it just me or is there a slight bug with Push Control?
I turned it on with my RX8, set at 10. It works fine when the motor is running forward, but if I run it in reverse, it seems like push control runs the motor forward which ends up acting like a brake, and in some cases actually rolls the vehicle forward a bit, if I use reverse at a very slow speed.
Granted, in race conditions where reverse is disabled this will not matter, but it seems like it shouldn't be like this...
Has anyone else noticed this? Randy, is this by design (or maybe an oversight)?

push control is for brushed motors.

As i know push control is the opposite way than drag break. When you set to reverse motor mode, maybe the drag break become push control; push control become drag break.

Can anyone explain the lights on the esc. I am trying to set like current limit using the leds. I got to the current limit setting. Then when I goto change it the lights go like 1, then 1 and 2, then 2, then 2 and 3. How do I know whats what? Obviously 1 is one and 2 is two right? But what about the double lights?
Led 1 = 1
Led 1+2 = 2
Led 2 = 3
2+3 = 4
etc..
Count when you press the INCR button and it should make more sense than listed as above.

What I mean to say is with forward throttle, it pushes, which is correct. With reverse throttle, it still pushes...but the motor spins forward...which acts like a brake. I guess it's not a huge issue because how often do you want to coast in reverse, but still...it doesn't seem like that's the way it should operate.

I had the same problem when I first hooked up my caster truggy. I didn't realize I needed reverse rotation the way the motor was mounted. I tries rev it on the radio and thats what it did. Directions were correct but the brake had the power of forwards and the gas was the brake. I was so frustrated I almost threw my M11. Then figured out it was a setting on the ESC.
But I felt like am an idiot

No he's right. If you're using a reversable motor type and you have some push control set it can cause this to happen.
Ideally of course it shouldn't! LOL It's a bug I'm aware of but don't hear very often since most don't use reverse.
Push control is like a capacitor in the way it "stores" so much push power based on time spent at WOT. So if you're only on throttle for a bit push control will only push a bit. If you're on WOT for a long period it will push exponentially...more.
Current limiter and all our led's are based on a scale. The led's from the left being 0 , 7 being the highest. In the Hotwire you can actually select the "led amount" by right clicking on the adjustment. The incriments that allow for 2 led's lit at the same time are "half" led's if you will. It's basically led's halved. So instead of just 7 steps we have 12.

Some Ebuggy action as well as cough nitro cough action from the Horizon Shootout. Not real sure who the guy was that tried the backflip 2 times was .....
Oh and for those that are worried bout duribility, it drove away after Billy Fisher put the body back on after the second try!

especially when you go truckin' past the poor gas burners with only 2 wheels (sometimes less) on the ground
Good News is that I got my rx8 back- will put it through the paces this weekend.
Now I just want to get my hands on one of those t8 motors

Sorry guys for being kind of new to this. But the push control problem is not sinking in. Push control does what to the motor? (Drag brake puts a little reverse action on the motor when the throttle goes to nuetral is that correct?) Thanks
