Well I have a new update, I tested it on the bench, it looked worse, but once I drove it, it seemed great for the most part. Decided to take it to a park and really open it up. Was running great! Then it stopped after 5 minutes and caught on fire. Had to rush over, uplug my batts, motor wires, everything I could from the ESC. Motor temps were still cold, so I have no idea why this happened... ESC was manufactured last month by the way, this isn't a first run ESC.Please let us know with the replacement one if the problem is fixed.
I too am seeing this behavior with an MMX8s sensored to a 1717 1650kv.
All things are smooth and normal except:
If I apply aggressive burst power off the line and sense an unwanted wheelie, I get off the throttle.
Front end comes down and apply less power to continue on and immediate brake lock-up, like an instant crawler reverse scenario. Awful slamming crunch front tire dig!
Then normal forwards operations thereafter!
Fault is repeatable.
I noticed a workout if you patiently “wait” an extra second before immediately getting back on the power, no hiccup. But a user shouldn’t have to do this!
I suspect something with the programming logic like others have theorized.
Current settings that I’ll will check to troubleshoot:
punch control at 60%
Aux mapping to Drag Mode
Brake 100%
Brake ramp - instant/disabled
Even if my TX trigger joggled & overshot the deadzone, the expected brakes should be a touch not full on immediate lock up!!
