Re: (ET) controler



Check the manual for the controller, it may have acceleration and deceleration adjustments that you can make.  The 4QD controllers do, don't know about others.

Depends on what controller.  Some (most?) do indeed have acceleration ramps
to prevent rearing, skidding, and/or excessive battery current.  In fact
even the original ET resistor step controller had a sort of ramp - a time
delay that stepped through the speeds gradually even if you rammed the speed
lever all the way to the top.

Cutting the space budget really restores my faith in humanity.  It
eliminates dreams, goals, and ideals and lets us get straight to the
business of hate, debauchery, and self-annihilation.
