thanks, and it's giving me some issue's, but i think it's on my end. or i'm just not use to it. seems to have more power in reverse, then i gotta hit the throttle a couple times for it to go forward.

i can't seem to find the instructions for programming it

it's all good now, got it figured out. but got a question if i want a little more speed, do i need to go up or down on the pinion?

the reason i ask instead of just try is because the body is a pain in the a$$ to get on and off!

You want a bigger pinion for more speed.

I just programmed an XL-5 last night and it gave me a hard time, too. Seems to work fine after a couple tries, though.
