Darknessbot Sherman Max (Current)

[Scotty]

Hi, I just got a Sherman Max, and I never had the original, so I'm not too familiar with the Max's capabilities or stats from personal experience. I just went for a long ride into the mountains and noiced that the Sherman Max shows very dramatic peaks in Current hitting 100A at one point while riding at 26 MPH. I had several over spikes in the 90's, one while riding at 7.3 MPH. 

For the last couple years i've been riding an RS HT and this same ride route does not produce nearly the avg high level of Current draw or spikes that I'm seeing on the Max.

Is this normal for the sherman? Or maybe an issue with how I setup darknessbot? Thoughts?

Thanks

Value you see is not a battery current, but motor phase current. You can learn more here - https://euc.world/blog/battery-current-vs-motor-phase-current/
