Default Weird ESC Problems

I got a interesting problem for some reason some times when I turn on my crawler my truck will go forward when I pull the trigger then some times it goes in reverse when I pull the trigger to go forward, I have no Ideah why this is. All I did lately was add the Spectrum Dx3e and a 35 turn motor? But if I revers the channel for acceleration it will go forward then if it was going in reverse.

Make sure everything is plugged in correctly to your reciver or switch you motor leads aroung. put red in black and black in red?


Hope this helps

You should post more information about what you have if you want help. Like what brand ESC, and how it's wired up.

I got a LRP Automatic esc and a Integy Matrix Pro Lathe Motor 35T. I got the motor wired up right I believe on the end is a black cap indicating pos and neg and thats how I wired the motor. I think its just a cheap esc Im thinking of getting a new one soon, Im leaning in the rooster direction.

Ah yes, it is the ESC. I had one of those and it did the exact same thing. Luck of the draw which way it thinks is forwards.
