I put the latest firmware (as of yesterday afternoon) and I have noticed that it sounds a little different at low speed and it cogs more. Reverse is also rougher. I haven't changed any settings, only the firmware.


They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.

This new firmware upgrade has me wondering some things:

#1. Since Torque is being controlled, will the amp spikes be tamed in proportion to the Torque Setting?

#2. Will there be an efficiency gain by running higher Voltage and taming the setting for how the motor is controlled?

Example:

Castle Neu 2200kv on 6S versus Castle Neu 2200kv on 4S

The 6S setup is "tamed" with torque control and throttle limiting to mimic the performance of the 4S setup. But the 4S setup is set to "all out" performance. Both setups geared the same in.......ummmm........let's say an E Revo.

The switching of the fet's on the powerboard will still conduct the full pack voltage, only the "off" time will be longer than the "on" time with 6S, compared to the 4S setup.

#3. I'm also wondering if these "tame it down" settings would allow using higher kv motors on higher than rated voltage?

Temperatures being the overall guide, of course.
