Check this out, should fix it.

Itās just vesc tool software you have to change

Thanks man. Got thrown off by the different jst connector. Changed the settings on the dv4s for same thing, but for some reason I thought it wasnāt necessary for the dv6s.

Itās necessary for all makerx power switch escs as far as I know

Read this.
What am I reading? That looks to be about the power button 
You can easily configure the motor FOC and input signals through the vesc tool wizard page.
After the MOTOR and APP are configured. Then set the shutdown mode of the right ESC to activate the button function.
Note that the left ESC needs to be kept ALWAYS ON.

The process for ppm config has stayed the same for quite a while, you should be able to just use the input setup wizard
The pin out on the diagram was wrong . Issue solved

Correct me if Iām wrong on anything above.

Has @YUTW123 addressed this issue? It seems like a significant problem that switching to current mode doesnāt fix for everyone.
Iād love to know why itās happening and if there is anything can be done on the consumer end to fix it properly.

Yeah I should edit my post. I heard that full current solved it but Iāve heard more recently it really doesnāt.
Iām kinda worried for my 4wd build but we will find out I guess.
@YUTW123 is this a hardware thing or is there a setting we can adjust in vesc to improve the low speed braking?

He claimed it was firmware related but I thought the 100250 firmware versions were basically the same with the values changed to suit the hardware. Iām no expert so take it with a grain of salt but I definitely think itās hardware did earlier versions didnāt have this issue? None that I know of.
Iāve gone through every setting with David and I gave up there was no difference in braking force each time.
Something is making the vesc to stop supplying current at a certain -erpm range.

I tried with 11/55 gear drives and I understand how you didnāt notice the problem.
The higher ratio with small pinion definitely makes the weak braking stronger.
But with 15/72 itās really shit.
Itās not a fix, definitely a band aid as it limits what gearing you can use with the vesc.
I tested on the bench with smart reverse and current no reverse with brake and the motors are the same, turn easy by hand but the gear reduction really makes a big difference at the wheel being really quite hard to turn.

Iām wondering if lowering the minimum current in motors>general>advanced> from the default 0.05a to 0.01a help?
Would it be worse with less current?
