Reuben commented on Reuben's blog post Why are some ESC's only rated to 3s or 4s Lipos ?
"No don't think they can be configured for reverse during flight ... But you could add a crossover switch to two of the output wires from the esc to the motor then program to a switch on your transmitter, which you then flip on and off to reverse the…"

"Hi Ya . yes i think your are right i should try 3.3.2.on that machine, as you say it should start to slow sooner before 10m .. this is the issue, it races to 10m then tries to slow by that time its nearly touching the ground ... instead of racing…"
