If I give it full throttle in reverse from a dead stop up a steep hill, the motor will make arcing noises - probably because the brushes are retarded five degrees from the reverse perspective. Fortunately I rarely park on a hill, much less in a location where I need to use full throttle to get out of the parking spot.
