Hello Patrick,

thanks for your reply, now I get the idea, it's basically a current limiter.

Did some more testing on the weekend, I have to say I really like the feature, however as far as I see it, I have to change the Torque control settings based on the surface I run, i.e. if I have set the TC to a high value for high traction surface it will have too much torque/tirespin on a low traction surface.

Would it be possible to implement Traction control based on the speed the motor RPM changes? Basically that would mean to make a full acceleration run on highest traction surface (with little tirespin), then determine the maximum engine RPM change per time unit. Now let's assume on a high traction surface the motor takes 3 seconds to spool from 0 zo 30.000rpm, that would be a max. increase of 1000rpm per 0.1 seconds.

Now when driving on a low traction surface, the ESC could monitor motor RPM every 0.1 seconds and decrease throttle as soon as it detects a change in RPM greater than 1000.
