yet the nice guy that I am here's your answer (I hope).

Even running in 540 stock I have noticed a similar thing (when I'm using ensa at 100%).

Sure it puts power back into the battery and saves from having to us a diode but I certainly notice a difference when I turn ensa off and use a diode. Let's just say the braking is obviously stronger.

I'm assuming that with ensa the electricity flowing back to top up the battery is removing the *like chucking it into reverse "feeling"* of the brakes which feel quite brutal with a diode.

I don't know what the technical explanation is but I always saw the diode as preventing the "flow back" so to speak but as such with no place to go back to the shorting/braking effect is greater on the motor.

So basically what I've found is that with a diode 20% is enough but without a diode I've had to increase to 40% (just short of the "typical" setting for 540 stock).

Just a thought.

Ps: I see the P5 setting is only 10% minimum brakes.

I tried that when I first got mine, well sure it stops but in 540 stock you might as well not have any brakes if you want to stop in a hurry.

I suggest that rather than use the pre sets P4,5,6 or 7 use the "typical" settings, in stock and mod it's 15% as the starting point for braking.
