HobbyKing 100a 6.5t mtr.
Plenty of power and massive drag brake if in reverse, but zilch drag brake in forward?

i'm not sure if this will work, i could be talking complete rubbish but try changing the 2 outside wires on the motor then reversing the throttle channel on your handset and see if it gives you the drag brake in forward then

I'd go a long with that as I'm guessing it's a sensorless combo so at the moment it could be reverse ur running as forward an forward as reverse hence drag brake working correctly but just in the wrong direction if that makes any sensne lol as long as it's sensorless the swapping any two wires around on the motor (A-A, B-C an C-B) should sort it

Theres a port on the motor and the ESC itself, was thinking I should buy a sesnsor cable and give thata go. But I'll try swapping the two outer conections as you recomend....thanks! :thumbsup:

Hey at my age I need all the help I can get big fella!
Any-road-up....mission accomplished!
Swapped the wires across and did a reverse at the TX, the hardesr part was working out what the HK set-up box was telling me.
The figures a percentage your limiting and not the otherway round???
Throttle 20% is limiting throttle by 20% and 20% of throttle available......or not! :cry: But its up and running. Time for a rest, its been a rather stressful day
