Watch the video and read the info in the first post of this thread for all needed info. I don't believe it will.

If the graphs are the same then your problem is outside the radio.

Check the programming in both speedo's first. Hook them up to the hotwire and make sure everything including the software is the exact same and same version.

Check you motor timings. Make sure that you didn't program any expo on throttle or brake side.

Also if your running matched motors, make sure you have the rear motor in the rear and not the front, also make sure you are running the same pinions.

Same pinions isn't required, just make sure the larger tooth is up front. If its opposite, your rear motor will turn faster. Also, if you have your rear motor wired reversed, your timing is backward. So your running negative timing when your rear motor is going forward.

I don't suggest running different pinions because it negates the trucks ability to overdrive the rear. Get matching pinions ASAP. Take all other variables out of tuning.

Harley already noted to check your settings, but specifically check the Reverse Strength (LED 2)
settings on your FXR's to make sure that they are set the same...

Big thanks to Harley and everyone posting info on this thread. I don't know if this has been answered yet or not but is there a way to reset the tx back to factory, had some glitching issues with the front esc and motor :( and I can't for the life of me figure out how to "erase" model or set for a new model or copy a current model to a new one and edit the new model for another car

On the main screen just scroll up to the model number.
Select that and it will take you to the MODEL RX menu.
There you can reset, copy, and change models.

This can be found on page 38 of the manual.

Or could I call their support to find out when this transmitter was made?

Thanks!
The link on the first page shows radios that start with B01 not B10.

If you watch the video and it goes as I show it then the radio is updated.
