OK, post up some specs. What radio? What receiver? What ESC? Casey |

If your radio has adjustable end points it could be that the forward throttle is being stopped. But it's been my experience that thats normal... the motor spinning faster in one direction than the other. You could either flip your tranny around and revers the throttle on your transmitter OR solder the motor on the other way and reverse your throttle on your transmitter.

Sounds like the motor wires could be on backwards, many radios and esc's limit the power in reverse. I had this problem on my CK, had the radio set to reverse signals and it was slow in forwArd. Switched the wires and the reversing switch and it was fine.
