I’ve been pushing my custom firmware further…
And I just hit another major breakthrough.
👉 More torque
👉 Smoother low-speed control
👉 Better transition than ever
This is the kind of improvement you actually FEEL on the rocks.
But…
There’s a tradeoff.
It introduces a slight ticking sound to make it all work—and now the question is:
👉 Is it worth it?
💥 What You’ll See in This Video:
The new firmware in action
How much smoother the transition really is
Torque improvements under load
The exact sound it makes (so you can judge for yourself)
⚠️ Real Question:
Would YOU run this in your rig?
Because I already am.
Every single one of mine.
But I want real feedback before pushing this further.
