I have a go kart that is powered by a Vesc. The only problem is that I only have forward and brake and no reverse. Is there a mode or a way to get all 3 at the same time with ppm control. I would like it to be like how brushless rc cars are. What I mean by this is that when the gas is pressed, the kart goes forward and when you press the brake, the kart brakes, but once you are stopped and you press the brake again, it acts as a reverse pedal so the kart goes backwards. Sorry for the bad description of what I want but if you need any clarification I can answer any questions.
Thanks Ryan
There are two modes:
- Current Hyst Reverse with Brake (second time braking after stop will reverse)
- Current Smart Reverse (holding brake will slowly reverse, reverse speed adjustable in configuration)
Hi, I am a newbie to VESC project and need the same functionality for my RC car.
- Can I set the two modes using the VESC tool 2.06?
I cannot find the current mode setting going through the pages of the tool.
In the PPM APP settings.
Hi frank,
I found it. Thank you!

Current Hyst Reverse with Brake - Stormcore 100D. How to limit reverse speed?
Reverse works fine with Smart Reverse, but when I use "Current Hyst Reverse with Brake: reverse speed it at 100% rpm.
It works fine on my other board, a Stormcore 60D
Ive tried limiting Reverse ERPM on the motor, it made no difference. Any ideas?
You could compare and check each settings on two units
