Help with my Mamba Max

[BrianG]

First issue, I wonder how old the firmware is? Early FW versions had trouble with slotted motors. But that was a while ago, so not sure on this.

For the second issue, reduce the throttle deadband from within Castle Link. Can't remember the exact name for this, but it's pretty easy to tell. The only downside to this is if the pot in your transmitter is not the best (or "drifts"), the ESC may have a hard time finding neutral to arm.

I selected the newest one, 1.30 beta I think. Maybe I'll go back and try some other ones.

And for the second issue I was playing around with the deadband settings and have it mostly eliminated, but there is still a very noticeable jump. Makes me miss my MGMs.

Thanks

EDIT: I tried 1.30, 1.29, and 1.24 and the problem persisted. I am using 9 GP3300 batteries, but it also happened when I hooked up my 5S LiPo.
