Re: regulated power for potentiometer

I'm curious about your drivetrain. I wager a guess you're seeing this in high gear when accelerating your cims near stall from a stand still.

The sonic shifters in their default ratio, direct driven to four inch wheels with 4 cims are at the very extreme end of gear ratios - a full battery easily drops to 8 volts under acceleration from a stand still in high gear.
