[gargreen7]

the motor will only reverse! if i hit forward i don't get anything not even a whine. couldn't think what this could be or how to over come it. any ideas ?

[mark christopher]

ur going to have to give more info

tx throttle chanel reversed
motor wired wrong

[gargreen7]

everything is on the same settings it has been, the only reverse is the servo, which works fine. the diff has currently been apart to fit new bearings but worked fine right after .

Turn the car off and unplug then turn it on push full throttle then full break it should then be fine I take it your using the kit esc?

[metalmickey0]

You might have to reset your settings and setup the system again. Had to do the very same thing on my B4, and all i did was take motor and esc straight from SC10 and install in B4. Did nothing else but unplug and plug back in once in new car.

I've tried doing the reset but didn't seem to work, I'll try it again when I get home though.

To clarify, unplug the car. Turn on the radio, full throttle then full brake, re plug the car and try to see if it works ?

Not quite

Unplug car. Turn on radio. Turn on car. Full throtte then full break

If that dosnt work the swap the motor wires around

It sounds like you have turned off reverse get the manual out mate

[gargreen7]

could i have turned off the forward gear because it seems very very slow now ?

[farmboy]

I've come into this debate rather late but can I offer this: the Mad Rat speed controllers is a funny little thing. Each and every time you connect the battery you have to set the end points (full forward and full reverse). You have to pull the trigger on the transmitter all the way back (to set forward) and then push it all the way forward (to set reverse). Once you've done that, it's all systems go.

Ok what radio you using mate? Another thing worth doing is spraying the motor out with a electrical solvent cleaner or break cleaner

[gargreen7]

using everything that came with it, i've got in contact with model sport and they said to send it back under warranty so i guess i can't argue with that
