# FAQ / BLHeli 32.9 full-throttle safety warning
- 32.9 along with Betflight 4.4.0, 4.4.1, 4.5 pre-RC1 had a serious safety issue that could cause ESC to go full-throttle.
- For 32.9, recommend disable DSHOT-BEACON for added safety.
- However, If you are stuck on 32.9, be hyper cautious when plugging in
- Use Betaflight released 4.4.2+ or 4.5.x+ where `DShot motor 0` packets are sent for safety purposes. (where "+" means "and later")
