Maybe you can try flipping the throttle reverse switch from its current position to the other (on top of your DX3E) and see if that helps.

My first one was DOA. I wouldn't think I would get 2 that way. I will try the rev switch.

I would hope I don't have that bad of luck to get two bad one's. If anyone thinks that they might be able to walk me through it, you can give me a call.

Thanks Brandon

Stupid question....is the throttle trim set to "0", EPA's set to 100%.....have you tried with throttle deadband, switching the throttle to reverse (should be "normal" usually)??

Ok a little progress.

I can control the throttle now, but as soon as I even touch the trigger it jumps into wide open full throttle forward. Only way to stop it is to press the trigger into the reverse operation.

I think that the trigger on the radio has gone bad. I hooked it up to my sons and it worked great. That must be the reason that I had trouble binding the ESC to the radio. Whats your opnions?

Good idea testing that.

Same problem as with the BR-XL. I wonder how hard it is to fix the throttle trigger on a DX3E
