Just flick the reverse switch on the throttle channel of your transmitter. It should fix your problem, you do not need to calibrate the throttle positions as it does that automatically on startup.

^^ Yup, that. Bearing in mind, the throttle is channel 2.

 

Or if that doesn't work, switch it back again and swap over the two motor to ESC wires, but I think the transmitter switch will work.

 

ESC is working properly, don't worry.

Brake

 

thats a two stage job buddy. 

 

see what is happening is the esc wants you to center the throttle before it lets you have full beans. 

 

so we are hammering along and we pull back for brake , the car starts to slow down from the braking effect of the motor.

and we stop 

 

let do the same thing but add a reverse, so we hammer along hit brake then expect reverse but nothing happens.

the esc is working right but it does not know when you want to reverse. its just seeing a brake signal first.

so we need to tell it we want reverse. 

 

throttle - brake - neutral - reverse 

NOT throttle brake reverse 

 

you MUST return the throttle to neutral after the brake to engage reverse , and thats what your having problems with.

your expecting to be braking when you let off the gas and then have reverse, but you have to brake then return to neutral then reverse.

Trust me when i say in time you will become very much used to this action and its becomes natural to you.

we all had this pang but its just something one gets the hang of fairly quick.

 

its good to think of this feature as an added safety net so you do not tear out the diff going from full forward right into reverse.

its not good for real cars so can really damage our models
