sidewinder v2 high power mode questions

[cabron]

bought some of mr. holmes' sidewinder v2 escs he has on sale
and noticed that there is a high power mode

could someone explain this? benefits? drawbacks?

thanks

Same and same, any answers?!

Isn't that just a way of wiring in a brushed motor that results in no reverse?

As strictly a basher, never a racer, that's a big enough of a drawback for me to have never used it.





..........or are you talking about a setting in the programming that is sometimes called "start-up power" aka "torque limiting"?

mmmmm
no reverse .....
now that you say that how can we get reverse having it connected this way?
maybe that is used if you are mounting a brushed motor on an airplane

thanks

Vast majority of go-fast racing (buggies, pan cars) have 'no reverse' rules in place, so it works fine for them.

But, yeah, I couldn't imagine trying that in a crawler or trail truck.

The high power is just that, high power (I believe it uses all the FET's for forward, thus reducing their load) but NO reverse.

Great for a crawler if you never need to reverse, otherwise worthless for us.
