IIIRC, the manual says that with ENSA on stock setting (100) you shouldn't run any motor diodes - however, if you lower the value you can run diodes.

Has anyone tried both settings. I have a much more 55A diode pack sitting around that i have used with my KO speedo, but not tried ti with the Rapida.

I have been really struggling at the last couple of meetings with breaking - breaks fading during the run (motor heat i suspect), just wondering if running a big diode with the ENSA lower would help.
Matt,
I run two Novak 36amp schottky diodes with my Rapdia Pro using 7 & 8 turn motors and don't seem to run short on brakes, (but I do prefer softer brakes then most). Have you tried running a fan on your motor? This may stop the motor from overheating and causing the fade....

Regards,
Peter
