I was going to say the only risk is if you exceed that you have no brakes but I guess you could just go forward lol
The thought did occur to me, but I donāt see any issues.
In some freak scenario where Iām hurtling backwards down a hill at -15k ERPM, I would normally hit the throttle forward to ābrakeā (eg giv it gas).
I donāt see any risk here, but am I misunderstanding something?
No I think thatās right. Because itās full current mode, I think that problem would only exist in other modes
Iāve never tried though.

Pretty easy to try. Small hill on a thane board, low erpm limits
This isnāt true, at least not on 6.02. I tested it first thing after enabling the limit. I set it low enough so I could over speed the board by pushing and tested the brakes in reverse (which is applying forward throttle) and everything worked smoothly and properly.

Right which is what I said in the second half of the sentence haha
Itās not ābrakesā in the traditional sense, itās just fwd power.

Gotcha, reading is hard 
I believe I tested pushing the throttle both directions while over the eRPM limit, but I canāt remember the results. Iāll have to try that again sometime

Are these the only settings needed to achieve what youāre talking about? Besides turning on current mode obviously

Yeah you just need to set both sides to the reverse erpm limit.

I think Iām gonna do this on my new hummie build and see how I like it. Smart reverse wasnāt working properly for me anyway
Iām sure you and @jack.luis already know not to do what I didā¦ but I initially had problems with ERPM limit because I accidentally wrote my slave side ESC to be ppm control instead of āoffā, because I was mindlessly applied the same settings to both sides. It worked but had serious chunka chunka gremlins. The gremlins went away once I did things correctly and set both sides to limit at 10k ERPM reverse.

Gotcha lol yeah I always do a re-read before changing things so I think thatāll be covered. Seems like a great method though and I donāt think Iāll have braking traction issues on my stretched skps

The mobile version of vesc tool fixed this as it reads the settings after switching can devices 
Too bad it sucks and it can reset your esc on accident 
Iāve programmed a few ESCs and always used the mobile tool. Never had that happen.
We are never going to agree on this

You donāt agree that it never happened to me? When was the last time you tried it and had an issue?
Couple weeks ago another user completely bunged up the esc within seconds. Still donāt know how they did it
PC better. Is what I meant we are not going to agree

So it must be the mobile tools fault?
Yep canāt do that on pc, you have to actually be intentional
