So Patrick, how exactly does the torque limiter work then? If the answer is getting into the "trade secret" realm, I understand, but you've provided technical explanations for all the other features, and I just like to know how things work.

I'm also in the dark? Isnt this like using a battery with a lower discharge "C" rating ?

No, not exactly.

But it might enable you to use a battery with a lower C rating.

I'm sure this will serve to tame amperage spikes during acceleration.

I have a 12" 3 Blade Prop hooked up to serve as a fan as my desk.

Yeah, it's wicked when you turn it up, but is a nice breeze on low.

Powered by a Mamba Max Pro, it has kept me cool for hours on end.

I installed the update to my MMP, and it's going to be very interesting to play with.

The smallest number on the torque control scale ramps the speed up slowly, like climbing a hill.

I can see where dialing this control in, to your setup and track conditions, will definately give a race advantage. You can dial in the degree of controlability you need.

This will also serve to protect driveline parts.

It also makes me wonder if you could use a larger motor, gear a bit higher and still reach a higher level of overall efficiency?

Cooler Temps by taming amp spikes? I think so.

That makes sense.
Thanks James

Went back to v1.26 on the MMP and v1.24 on the MMM, both cars are perfect, smooth as glass, no cog and everything I want the esc to do.

I played with all the settings in I don't know how many combinations and always the same result. Alot of cog then lunging forward, if I kept the throttle at 1/4 it would run smooth (after the initial lunge) for about 5 seconds. Every five or so seconds it would lurch forward again.

I'll be waiting for v1.28, maybe everything will be good then, but currently with v1.26/v1.24 I have no complaints.

When the grip is good, the acceleration and the amp draw is higher (dust vs on road for example)...
So it does not necessary tape the current spikes, but power the motor to get the best grip conditions. More power is given to the ground than temp and amp should not necessary be lower than before.
I am still concerned about the punch control disabled when the torque control is activated, so there is still amp spikes during a kickdown. That's why IMO you can't for the moment use lower C rating batteries... The next version will probably fix this anyway.

I loaded this new firmware and the my MM does not start anymore!!!! the lights only blink.. the BEC comes on and sends voltage to the steering, but that's about it...
no chiming from the motor... no response from the throttle... when i went back to an older firmware, there was no change... what gives??

Help Please...

edit: The fan stayed on the entire time...
