Gustav uses this method. So it is his idea.

That works most of the time and has been the way I have always configured my trucks. Technically throttle is channel 1, steering ch2 and brake ch3 :027:
The thing about the HV is that it arms when you put the throttle to full brake so with the nuetral position set to full brake, it arms automagically.
If you change the epa for ch1 to 0% for reverse, it still auto arms but does not help the random problem I mentioned before (WOT). The HV is a great esc, I just wish it was pistal tx friendly.

I like castle products but am disappointed that the MMM will only handle 16 cells. I even tried the Barracuda 125, because it should be able to handle 6S, but fried it on one run using 6S geared moderately.

I think I'll wait to hear from others before buying any other Castle controllers for my truck :005:

For now, the Quark 125B is working great.
