Don't tell me that I need to use forward/reverse with brake, because obviously I'm using it. There are two BUGS in the software related to reverse, and if you can't detect it, then you must pass this issue to Michael or any technician. The bugs are:

* The motor rotation is not being monitored by the esc as the instructions say. To check this, run the car fast forward on the track (not on air) and brake two times. Even if the car wheels hasn't stopped in the first brake, the second one enters reverse mode. This makes unusable forward/reverse with brake in normal situations (yes, I use to brake 2 o 3 times when entering a corner, and I don't want to enter reverse accidentaly because my car IS NOT STOPPED YET)

* When running sensorless, there is no way to detect motor rotation. It would be nice to have a delay entering reverse to avoid braking twice and ENTERING REVERSE ACCIDENTALLY. I tried some other brands ESC and behaves this way, and old hobbywing software worked like this before. It was in 2010-09-17 when the delay was eliminated (this can be checked reading the firmware changelist, which says: 2.Optimize the switching of forward and backward)

Is it clear now? Are you going to report this issue to Michael as you promised some weeks ago? Hope we can have this fixed in the next release.

Best regards.

There might not be a bug per say but it is certanly an issue and for me it have ment removing the reverse unfortunately.

There is definately room for improvment here an i see no reson for not adressing it.

It is unfortunate that you take the approach that it probably are not worth fixing.

I'm a racer and i probably wouldn't use it for my TC but soon comes summer and 2wd buggy and then it is invaluable to have the option!

It's better to have the option than not would you not agree?

You can just turn it of i you prefer it that way.

Snabbgas i have spoken to michael and i have asked the following from him ....

so far we have 3 running modes

1.Forward only with brakes

2.foward/reverse with brakes

3.forward/reverse

What i have asked michael was to include a 4th running mode option

forward/reverse with brakes (small delay before reverse ) say 4 clicks of the throttle before reverse etc (this way they wont have a problem with it going into reverse after 2 .

second i have asked to include 8 options for brakes on the 508 no timing like the stock and mod versions i am aware it cannot be programmed by the led program card but they will have to upgraqde to the lcd box to do it but atleast the option is there .

so lets see what we can come up with .

I also have some other good news but i need to wait to get some more information before i tell anyone .

regards Angelo

I agree with you that it should work different and not wreck the drive train when going in reverse. You can adres the issue but be patient and understanding and it makes for a more pleasent experience then to chop someones head off on a public forum for a a small issue in a function you hardly use. ...Just trying to be polite here :D

The obvious solution if it is possible would as gusi mentioned be to have the ESC to sense when the motor has stopped and only after that (and some delay for temporary lockouts) allow the motor to go into reverse.

If this was possible then reverse is going back in my buggy (exept for competitions) and i think everybody would happy, bashers to!

I think it would be cumbersome to have to blipp the reverse 4 times to get reverse.


If the news is a new ESC then i am getting exited!!!
