Default random reverse when crawling

Hey guys,

I have a quick question. I have an AE5 ESC and a 35 turn rc4wd motor. I put this thing together with a light kit (gt power) and when i'm crawling sometimes it'll just randomly kick into reverse.

any ideas? it only happens when i'm just barely on the throttle trying to be real technical and precise.

someone told me one of the glitch fix resistors that plug into the 3rd channel will help. any ideas?

Thanks!

Try the easiest thing first - set all your trims to zero and recalibrate.

Yeah, that sounds like trim/calibration issue to me too..

Had the same issue and it was the radio ....specifically the pot in the transmitter for throttle

Hmmmm. I'm going to swap to my flysky and see if it goes away. Thanks man. It's so frustrating.

Tried calibrating the esc and no luck.

as stated calibrate and set the trim on the Tx, NOT the Rx
