RXV parking brake and trailering

[FluxCapacitor]

With all the hoopla about the electric RXV motor brake I'm wondering if its damaging to an electric RXV (2Five in my case) to strap down and tow an RXV or if a certain procedure is called for?

Yesterday, after towing the cart on my new trailer I felt a noticeable hard release when the parking brake disengaged and I started backing the cart off the trailer.

Is this bad for the RXV? Should I be switching on "tow" mode while ratchet strapping to the trailer and trailering?

The "hard" release is due to there being an incline or decline when the electric motor brake releases and before 3 phase motor braking engages. It does no harm, but I understand that it just does not feel right. That can be tuned away by altering parameters slightly to adjust the timing on both of those actions. Increase delay of release on the one while decreasing delay of application of the other.

I have never found these parameters to adjust the "overlap", what are they? Are they available on level 4 programmer?

Thanks. Makes me feel better.
