|  runaway truck?
Just brought home a new SCX10 Honcho, works pretty good however when I switch to reverse on the tx it takes off foward at full speed. Probably pilot error but don't want to wreck it too soon. thanks dave |

you just need to adjust the throttle control on your transmitter, its a lil knob one is for steering and one is for speed  |

| Runaway truck
Thanks for the shout, dumb and dumber here. I just figured out that the trigger is two way, and forward IS reverse. Pretty embarasing. These are a lot different than planes.

Take it easy Cruiser... I just said he can use the switch to reverse motor or still use the radio as it is and get familiar with pistol grip radio. | |

| Didn't mean to start a riot.
Having never picked up a car transmitter and having NO instructions come with the car and used to aircraft transmitters. I was using the switch on the TX to change directions, not knowing it is a throttle reverse which put into play a result different than I was expecting. Nice way to be welcomed into the hobby.

Learning is half the fun, as long as it doesn't get too expensive in the process  . Enjoy your new hobby!
