Settings wise, I have found the default punch setting far too steppy between switch points, which kicked the back end out on the slippy stuff.

I now have both punch stages set to "moderate" or 15 (version dependant), and the switch point set to 1%, or basically no switch point. This gives a far smoother throttle feel than defaults.
This setting is essentially a current limiter. The lower value limits more current, the step feel is at the switch point when less current is limited, which is felt as a surge of power. Setting the value higher than defaults (low or 5) means less difference is noticed. Even when the punch values for both stages are set the same, you can feel the switch point on the car. Setting the switch point so low (1%) means its not felt. Maxing out the punch rate setting give a nice aggressive throttle feel, perfect for stock motor racing, but too much for a lowish wind modified class motor.

These settings are identical to the hobbywing xerun v3.1 esc.


With my sanwa radio I've also reduced the esc throttle dead band to 50us from 80us. This gives a more responsive feeling throttle stick.

I'm now on 2.04 software version.

I noticed the remote cut off had gone, but I never have full break enabled on the radio, so could never turn it off anyway. not missed by me.

I don't run boost, but use some turbo with full throttle activation on bigger tracks. Typically 10-15 deg. Smaller tracks I set to 0deg turbo (disabled)

My 5th one is on order now, I like them, certainly now I have sorted the throttle step I felt with default settings. No issues except I killed one reverse connecting battery in a rush.

I've not tried the new 160A version. looks decent though. Software is the same.
