Even worse for me when running sensored and forward/brake/reverse mode, at low speed (luckily) and at partial forward throttle, the motor randomly went into low speed reverse while I was riding. Happened a couple times, the most shocking incident being on asphalt, riding at about 10mph and instantly coming to a screeching halt cause the motor switched into reverse. Good thing these boards are so long and I had foot straps and only running single drive at the time otherwise I would have been thrown off. I switched to forward/brake mode after that and havenāt had that problem since. Freaking scary though.
Sounds cool. Wonder if they fixed random full throttle on startup.
Nah, same thing. I apply full brake, then start from standstill and it goes full throttle. Using 70% PWM limit for brakes helps, but thereās still a small chance itāll do a wheelie on startup.
So the key to smooth riding on these escs is to use brakes as little as possible and not to let it freewheel 
@vap That sounds very similar to the issue I was having before. The latest update fixed that, though. Are you running it sensored?
Which remote are you using?

Iām using my own NRF24l+arduino remote and receiver, so yea it could be the signal noise. I also tried one of my frsky d4r receivers and quadcopter controller when i first installed them, i could reproduce same behavior. Havenāt tried it with the new firmware though.
Hmm, iāve already added capacitors everywhere, i might try adding LC filter to the receiver.
So how did this turn out in the end? Are the breaks comparable to the vescās or not?
brakes r perfect
Hi! I am struggeling a bit with the brakes myself. The firmware you are linking in the top of the thread, is it for the FVT 120A 6-12S single ESC, or the Dual? Iāve got the dual, but I am guessing it will work on that also? Just to make things perfectly clear; the firmware you provide are for this ESC: Link to FVT official site
Because Iāve got this: Link to Alibaba-page
Hope you will get back to be. Best regards.
yup thats the one. but not the dual version. Contact FVT directly they can help.

Hey all!
Iām trying to flash the firmware on this ESC:
When connecting the USB programming card, I canāt get the software to recognize the ESC. Do you have to provide external power to the ESC for it to work? I think I need to connect a BEC to the other servo cable but I donāt wanāt to damage the logic boards.
Thanks!
