After coming to a complete stop it then went to full speed reverse. I really should have known better, but I guess the excitement of a new toy got to me.

Seeing a 8 pound buggy flying backwards down your driveway and into the iceplant at near 40MPH is quite alarming :026:
Perhaps the Li-Saver doesn't pulse below mid throttle (neutral for cars)?
Just thought I would bring this up.

They have more than one version of the li saver.
It has a plane and car mode.
Mike sells the car mode one.
No worries on wide open reverse.

That is good to know. Since I switched to the Mamba Max, I don't need a LVC any more (I run 4S).

I just wanted to make sure the same thing didn't happen to rustnpede in case the Li-saver did the same thing. He might not have as much iceplant as me :005:

Sounds like he is good to go.

Thanks,
Matt

Thanks for looking out. No ice plant here just rocks, not so r/c friendly. Unless its a crawler:025:
