Dingle123 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Well I can get it to run forwards but reverse just won't work. Tried the recommended way to turn reverse on buts it's just not playing ball. Any clues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunm Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) Well I can get it to run forwards but reverse just won't work. Tried the recommended way to turn reverse on buts it's just not playing ball Any clues?Sounds like your not programing the esc correctly, not had experience with your esc but most of them you either hold down the program button on the esc or pull the trigger on the tx to full throtle then switch on the power at the car ALWAYS HAVE THE WHEELS OFF THE FLOOR, normally you then get a beep or series of beeps you then pull the trigger to full reverse wait for the beep then allow the trigger ro spring to neutral you should then hear another beep and your done then switch the power of on the esc to save the parameters, switch on and off you should go!! Hope that helps. Edited February 7, 2015 by shaunm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PraetoR Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Mtroniks are even easier to program than that: Power it on (with your transmitter in the position you want neutral to be), press set button within 2 seconds of power-on. Green light flashes. Move your transmitter stick/trigger to full-forward position, then release. Red light flashes. Move your transmitter stick/trigger to full-reverse/brake position, then release. Green and red lights stay solid. Done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PraetoR Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Oh, well what are they? Certainly look different than my Lunch Box and my girlfriend's Midnight Pumpkin wheels. They don't have that plastic cylinder shape sticking out in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
