I spoke with Jorg at servonaut and he explained that the "filters" in the S20 were the result of this.. the esc is very clever and filters/smooths out the input from the driver giving a smoother drive, great for lorries and trucks on the road, but I just couldn't get to grips with it off road. However, all that said, I fitted it in a Wedico 966 and it was completely different, maybe its the difference between mechanical and electrical drive

It could be that the 966 is geared down so much in 1st (so they don't blow the motor) that it is very sensitive to voltage changes, where as the Bell is using the torque of the motors rather than rpm.

Just a thought, any idea if the top speeds are comparable between the two (in any of the three wedico gears)?
