Got some news. it was recommended to me to try the Race open mode, and some settings but essentially no boost, etc. Mainly Throttle PWM at 9600hz as a stand out.

I did this and my vehicle felt much better. Barely any of the coast effect at all for a lack of a better term.

I played with a variety of settings going from Full Power of 85% all the way back to 100%, as well as playing with the BEC from 6V to 7.4V. I even turned the Throttle PWM up to 16000hz and it was fine.

I then decided to give BLinky a try again with similar settings.

It seemed to work as well too. A bit more coast effect though, so I am going to use Race Open instead.

Part of me is wondering if the Viper VTX8 combo-ed with the HobbyWing 4000Kv motor could benefit from a touch of drag brake for this coast effect to be completely eliminated?

she's well enough now to go race tomorrow with 1 weird thing that happened.

When running it, I was able to usually put it into "use the ezlink" mode with no issues. However, all of a sudden it woudl just not go into the mode, with one of the lights blinky repeatedly like it was getting a signal. I turned off my Futaba 4PL radio, and was then able to get into the esc via ezlink.

It now basically has to have that happen to do that now, when before, I had no issues going into it with the futaba powered up.

Anyone else exprience this? I am using the 4PL in the SFHSS mode, maybe that could be part of the issue?

Lastly, love the fact the ESC is waterproof, AWESOME!
