** sidewinder question **
 
OK i got my sidewinder and put it in and it works ok forward but reverse is really glitchy and it wont stay at a steady speed (any suggesion)?

macattac-1968 03-27-2010 05:27 PM

and in forward it has like 2 stages of throtle and i hate it,:evil: Smooth as an unpaved country road:lmao:

do you have it programmed for brushed???

get a castle link and fine tune everything.

macattac-1968 03-27-2010 05:42 PM

yeah its all set for brushed

AlmstEvil665 03-27-2010 05:47 PM

Is it set for high powered brushed or brushed reversing. You want it on brushed reversing. i had the same issue and that solved my problems.

macattac-1968 03-27-2010 05:52 PM

its on brushed reversing

what servo, radio and esc are you running? could be a glitchy am radio, could be to much power drainage from servo.

What condition is the motor in? New? Used? It could be a brush/commutator issue. The brushes might not be making good contact in reverse. I'd check and clean the motor, brushes, comm and try it again. Hope that helps.

have you looked at the brake/reverse curve. If you have a link go into the brake curve setting and make sure it looks more like a straight line from one corner to the other.
