Then there's a slight delay before the car moves again.
I suspect I could address this by playing with my neutral settings, but in the meantime I've disabled reverse. My USGT car runs FWD/BRAKE/REV and it's never had this issue. Other than that, the HW has been great. I was hesitant to buy what I thought as an "off brand" ESC, but I've been impressed with it.
I run fwd/brk only. I had an issue with weak brakes until the latest firmware revision. Be sure to run brake and reverse force at 100%. Even though it should not matter when running fwd/brk only there is some background relationship that will make the brakes stronger.
