Calibrate the esc's

I did, both at the same time

Try it again...either that, or look at your gearing or swap f/r motors and see if it still happens.

Make sure the mix % is at 0%, and your expo's an the two channels are the same.

+1, also check the timing on the motors. If they were not bought as a set for a MOA, then one will have advanced timing & the other will have retarded timing. The 2 motors will run at different speeds in either forward or reverse (the fast motor will be different depending on what direction you're trying to go.)
Also make sure the settings in each ESC are the same (firmware included).

Front motor always spins faster (forward or reverse)

My expo's say:

ch1: 0%
ch2: 0%
ch3: -100%

i got to channel 3 expo by long click expo,but it wont let me set it to 0, could the channel 3 expo be the problem.

I feel dumb, after posting this i thought about it "if the front always spins faster, then it must be geared higher." sure enough, it was a 13 rear 15 front.... I got it from somebody else on here, idk why u would do that?

so i put a rrp 13 t in front....now i have ANOTHER PROBLEM!

Overgearing the front and undergearing the rear is typical for crawlers, moa and shafties.

[MiniMorris]

Yes, but not by that much? Maybe 1t in MOA. That's why you have mix. Shaftys without dig is an exception.

Keep in mind, not all MOA's are running either dual ESC's (with a mixing/propo capable radio) or a dig. If you can't control Propo, then doing different pinions can help with clod stall.

Yes, ic, in this case the guy it came from was using dual frxs

The post that referenced key mapping for the 3C brought up a corupted file error when I tried to open it. And don't make me threaten to drop 4 bills on a 4pk just to get some help around this mofo

What do I set the channel at so it will operate like an on/off switch? (On the 3B)

Scale beer cans, now that's the schlitz!

Pulled the cover off and the pin is still secured and soldered in place. Before I attempt to pull the old pin out and replace it with a new one is there anything else I can check? Again, the error that I'm getting is "Cannot communicate with device, check swim cable connection".

As for your problem, make sure

you plug radio into programmer
programmer into computer
Open STVP
Open Firmware
Press Program --> Current tab

In that specific order

And make sure the green wire is on the bind button side

That was the issue, flipped the cable over and voila! Now please excuse me while I go kick myself.......

Hey guys, all GT3C orders are going out monday.

[losikid]

So, it seems quite afew people still prefer the gt3b over the g3c (GT3B emails are at least 5x more common than gt3c) So, i'll be taking GT3B pre-hacked orders again here later tonight or tomorrow. As usual they ship 1-2 weeks.

[scoobyblue]

Hey losikid, how much are the pre.hacked gt3b tx worth?:thumbup:

sent to you while re inventing the wheel.
