Hey guys... just for kicks try something that demondtrates what I think is happening in "my" glitch:

You can try it on the ground or held in the air. Simply apply very slowly a very small amount of throttle until the wheels first move.... and let off. Do this over and over. What you see happen is that very often the car/tires will kick over backwards just a little before moving forward.

As some have mentioned, under severe cases this can kick your car backwards a couple feet.

But in typical MM running in 1/10 car 6 cells, etc... you don't notice this from a dead stop. It's always been smooth to me, but you can see that it kicks in reverse for a micro-second before correcting itself.

So, what I think happens is that once in a while it does this... fires backwards once.... while the car is moving. The effect is that you get a very brief 100% full lock brake (cause the tires kick over backwards for like .1 seconds) which is not good if you are racing a 2wd car through a sweeper for example. It immediately will point you sideways... like you just got bump-drafted at Daytona.

Now, the Mambamax is not "supoosed" to be able to do this... it's impossible according to CC. But it happens. The problem is you can't predict when it will happen or repeat it on command, so CC hasn't been able to duplicate this and see it for themselves. And even if they did get it to happen, they may not even notice if they are just running around a parking lot... you might have to be racing to easily see "it".

Maybe I've made this more clear to some of you now....
