Axial Yeti Reverse & Braking Calibration Problem

[NitroChance]

Hello,

I have been searching for a solution to a problem I've been having with my RC. I have an Axial Yeti RTR. I'm having an issue with the braking and reverse, it does reverse but very slowly and when any load is applied it wont reverse at all (Example: on an incline or on a bed of rocks). I have a castle creations programming card and have set the braking power to 100% and the reverse to 100% applied several times, but nothing seems to give me more reverse or braking power. I have set a drag brake setting for 20% for now so that i can slow the thing down, but I would like some help as to what I can try or do to fix this issue? Is this a bad ESC or is the motor bad? I'm kind of new to building and upgrading but I am a fast learner, so maybe there's something simple that I need to do that someone with more experience might know. That's why I joined.

Much appreciated!

I've not had any problems with the rtr motor/esc, but I would suggest you try running the castle software on your pc, reflashing the firmware, and setting it to the factory defaults, and go from there.

If the problem persists, your local hobby store may have a used motor you can try to see if it is the motor or the esc.
