summbear48

<r><QUOTE author="toycrusher"><s>[quote="toycrusher"]</s>There are many ways to do it. The simplest is what you referred to in your first post. A DPDT relay (or pair of SPDT) disconnects the motors from the ESC and shorts them together when you press the brake pedal. You can put a resistor in betwee...

summbear48

OR are you saying that putting in the relay will go back to a normal style power wheels where the brakes on if the throttle is not being applied? Looking through your wiring diagrams it looks like you have both ways unless I am not seeing them right.

summbear48

<r><QUOTE author="toycrusher"><s>[quote="toycrusher"]</s>I may not be understanding this fully, but I would recommend a normal separate DPDT relay for braking.

sorry its an extreme machine. it did it stock when I just replaced the battery, then did it when I upgraded to 18v. I took out the rocker switches in shifter and cleaned them, it SEEMED to help but still seems wimpy sometimes....no circuit board on this one, just normal power wheels set up.

2 door escalade, driver 35 lbs, 19t gearboxes, batteries just charged about 2 years old, stock power wheels motors. 12v max : 6mph, 18v max: 7mph. Still to come, Cadillac on banebot 775s, extreme machine 16t hpi, stock 19t, banebot, and 19t hpi, 12 and 18v.
