For a racer, it checks off all the basic needs and gets the job done nicely, however I found it necessary to have reverse disabled which is a problem for me when I am practicing and there are no marshals present. I found too many times where I'd get hung up where simple reverse would've been perfect to keep my session going but having to do the long walk of shame too many times forced me to ditch the ESC.


The issue I experience with reverse enabled is that there is no delay before reverse is engaged where if you were to feather tap the brake in mid flight or a tight corner, the car would suddenly snap into a violent cartwheel or spin out because reverse would engage when all I wanted was to tap the brake gently a few times.
Are you sure you used the correct running mode setting? There's 3. Forward with brake, forward with brake and reverse, and forward with reverse. It sounds like you set it to forward with reverse.
