We'll probably need an instructor remote to take control when things get a little sketchy and I am certain we all can agree...it will get sketchy!

Will Castle send you a certificate of completion once you successfully get through the guide?
Not gonna lie, I heard @Notorious J had to complete it 5x and still found himself taking out trees and going for a swim. Also, he is still missing credits for the certificate. I say that to say...I can see your reluctance to crack it open!
You see, this explains it. I've never bought a Castle product, so I didn't receive the benefit of this manual. I got my lessons from "Gymnastics and Aquatics Rc" school. We started with cartwheels and eventually made it to the pool. I guess I should have been weary when I first signed up online.
What motor are you running with it?
I had to mess with that on my old HPI Blur F360C (MMv1). It's defaults were horrendous and with the firmware version I'm using, it didn't even have punch settings, but with the older version that had a punch setting, it chattered more and I couldn't adjust the servo voltage above 5.5V.One of my favorite features of the castle ESCs is the ability to build custom throttle and braking power curves. While high end radios do this also it never feels as good as when tuned from the ESC side.
Also drag brake is a life saver for a speed runner, if you loose radio coms with the car it will still stop

Great minds think alike. I was just thinking about this this morning. I was also thinking of disabling reverse and setting 50% brake on failsafe.One of my favorite features of the castle ESCs is the ability to build custom throttle and braking power curves.

It is worth noting that your gear ratio will effect how this % feels.

Didn't realize it could drive that large of a motor. Good to know.
Basically the same setup that comes stock in the Traxxas XO-1.
It has a cap pack too. Not sure how big of a deal that is, the cap pack they have is kind of minuscule.
I haven't had any problems.
