Default Mamba Max Pro with non-sensored brushless getting little power in reverse

I think my settings are all correct. It's mostly default. I've tried 'with reverse' and 'crawler reverse'. I have an external bec and yes the power wire is disconnected.



Any ideas?

The ESC is in my Yeti build which is in my signature.

Thanks!

Yep. Second that....obviously.

It's set to 50%

*edit - probably feels like you have virtually zero braking too since it's set to 50% of 10%

I have tried 100% brake also. It seems about as weak. I can push full reverse and still stop and push the truck forward with my hand.

Could it be something about using 'smart sense' with a sensorless motor? There is no setting for just sensorless...

Here are the settings now.

SMART is the setting to use for BL motors without sensor, so that's correct.
You've now also disabled brakes entirely! Drag brake should be at about 100% and Brake amount maximized!

Well I'm racing it around a track mostly right now so I don't want it to break when I let off the gas.

Ya since you're not crawling you don't need a ton of brakes, but you have none.

Put the Brake Amount to 100% to eliminate that weird variable and then maybe try 10% Drag Brake. It still won't be much at all, but it won't be free-wheeling around when you let off the throttle.

And you're on a track and using Crawler Reverse mode with no brakes so I imagine that when you try to use brakes with your trigger finger, you're ending up jamming it into reverse. That will break things a lot faster than a heavier drag brake.

Off-throttle front flips don't start until about 100% of 100% or higher.
