|  What is your Descending Technique?
Got an XL-5 Stampede before a Wheely King and tried climbing with it. The XL-5 esc has a lot of braking and uses a double pump reverse. The braking is very good for descending. Now I'm climbing with a stretched Wheely King and it's esc doesn't have braking, or at least I can't find it. Worse, when you try to add a bit of reverse there is a delay of variable length so I give it more reverse and then the ?delay? times out and the WK is hit with so much reverse power that it flips forward and takes off down the hillside tumbling. Trigger displacement for reverse seems to be inconsistient too. Grrrrrrr. How do you get a controlled descent? What kind of esc do you like? I might install the Stampede RX and esc in the WK tomorrow and try that. |

The Mamba Max is the best ESC out there period. It has a drag brake so you can have controlled decents, plus it has tons of other features. Get one and you will never look back.  |

I let go of the trigger when I descend, and let the Mamba Max take care of the rest.  | |

My EVX puts a fair bit of braking into the 35's in my Clod.. Rather amazing braking, actually.. Not enuff to stop and engage reverse on a 60-70* incline, but enuff to keep me goin' nice n slow down...

i let go of the trigger and let the dragbrake handle it. brushless is the only way to go. |

I drag brake it too, when the rear lifts up I give it gas.

I slowly roll over edge, and keep it going slow, I use one pump to slide down, and if it turns into hell I double pump it into reverse, slick rock so it doesnt flip it spins a lil!

Integy 65T lathe, an Mtroniks RV15, and stock TLT hump-packs (7.2 1700mah) I get decent braking out of this setup (for what it is) if it's trimmed properly. If I am descending a steep grade (and have the time) I'll dial a little more reverse into the trim to help stay in control. It's still a brushed motor though, if it gets rolling downhill it's hard to get it to stop it again. One of these days a Mamba Maxx will somehow find it's way onto my rig... |

Most of my descents are either rather long or very short... Where we crawl, is pretty wild... Right by the ocean... Some places we hit, if ya go too far one way, yer swimmin'... In my Clod, I use a lot of brake... In my TLT, I don't get much brake with the Novak... It rolls or if I tap the brakes, it wants to flip or speed backwards... Need to dial in a lil more drag brake I think... 30% just isn't enuff... | |
