Mamba Max Problem

[Flatty]

I just picked up a Honcho with a Mamba Max and a brushless motor of some sort. I charged up a battery and plugged it in, and no dice. I am not getting any forward or reverse out of this thing. I do ahve steering, but no throttle. The controller came with it and everything should be set up. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong. I am getting the green light when I press forward.

Thanks

try recalibrating your throttle ....when you first plug it in pull and hold the throttle until you hear a series of beeps than full break till you hear a series of beeps than neutral for two series of beeps then see what you got.

I tried this. The esc won't let me recalibrate it. Kinda weird that I can't recalibrate teh ESC. I wonder if I should try a different controller with this car. Maybe my spectrum.

What kind of radio

[Flatty]

JR XS3 radio. I tried recalibrating, and still not dice. I am getting steering, just no throttle at all.

Are all of your trims and expos set to zero? Some times castle stuff wont arm if those are not at zero.

Could be the deadband too...if thats adjustable on your radio...
