Everything was working.Then the signal seemed to be lost. The steering works fine but there is no throttle or reverse. I use the comp to try and fix it it does nothing. Raised the dead band all the way nothing. Very confused of what to do. when the throttle is pulled it flashes green and when it is neutral it is red and i get nothing. Did everything the book and castle website said nothing. Need help badly.

i have same kind of issue with sidewinder with similar symptoms. Fault was actually in the motor, one brush spring was loose, so motor did not get any power.

I've seen this with weak batteries, either poorly charged or a bed cell, Also check to make sure your connection to the motor are good.

hooked up my jrx3 and everything worked normal. Even when th spektrum was working it still gave me fits. Time to look fo a new radio because i like the 2.4ghz but the spektrum is a pain in the butt

did you adjust the time delay on the MM to arm a little later, some RX take longer to sync that the MM is factory set up to and can lock out the MM from the system.

yeah i did everything

slobin3d · 05-10-2009, 04:10 PM

have you plugged a servo into the throttle and a battery in to make sure that its sending a signal and working correctly otherwise?
