Success at last!! Still a couple of 16016 ???s

[standard_63]

So I finally got my 16016/7XL wired up and ran it for the first time yesterday with 12/51 gearing and 4s lipos. I ran the whole pack going up and down the street doing speed runs and everything was barely warm!! :L: Finally a combo that doesn't thermal on me!! I had 120f on the controller and motor, and 105f on the batteries. I guesstimate around 30mph or so, maybe almost 40 since it seemed at least as fast as my nitro Revo on the street. I may try a 14/51 but I don't know if I need that...

I went through all the programming and I think I got it set the way I want for car, set everything to #1 setting except for freewheel to yes. I left it at nimh setting for now as I didn't want to deal with cutouts for lv on the batteries, I wanted to see how well it would run at full current.

Before programming the whole thing I was experiencing bad motor braking after letting off full throttle. The truck would endo instead of coasting. After programming it seemed to run and coast great. But after a liitle while of running, occasionaly the controller would seem to cut out and I would get no input, then it would beep once and kick in motor braking a liitle bit and do a small endo. Then it would run normally for awhile and then occasionally do that again. Once I heard it beep twice after it stopped, but then ran normally again. Shortly after the batteries ran down, was this just a symtom of low batteries, or just a glitch with this controller?

So far it seems to deal with heat/current much better than my BK 9920, as with the same setup the 9920 ran up to 165f before I stopped running -- couldn't even get a full pack thru it.
