Well, that didn't change anything. I got the 3rd Chanel to be at zero instead of +100 and it still spools. Not sure what to do now

Hello Harley

Today I was showing a friend how he could bind his 4pk to my truck sence I am lefty and he is right handed..after we were finished I noticed my truck will now coast when throttle is at neutral...if I go from forward to reverse instead of a solid stop it will coast.....never had this happen before... Did a setting change or what....if you can help with this please let me know thanks ....

Reprogram your throttle end points in the ESC.

How about the new R614FF-E? How does it compare to the regular FF and the FS?

I need to get another RX for my SCTE. I tried to order a R603FF from tower from their "scratch and dent" section but it was DOA and will be going back tomorrow. So I would like to go 4 channel to replace it(since they are smaller anyway).

Is there any way of setting up something on the 4PK to act as a three way switch?

So I bought a 4pk used from a friend and it worked fine for my scaler up until today. I ran our first two courses firat one was 210 gates and the second was 100 but when I plugged in to run the third course my rs speed control showed the last three lights on it. Is this a radio issue or something else?

If I'm in the wrong section let me know.

Recalibrate your throttle Position. The speed control lost it's neutral point. If it happens continually, then widen the deadband on the ESC.

Is this in the speed control or the radio. I tried to reset the speed control and it picked up neutral and forward but not reverse. I appreciate the help.

It's in the ESC. You may have to do reverse first rather than forward like the manual says.
