yes, I didn't know that the non hacked GT3b the trims only went to 30 + or -. With the firware it will go to 99 + or -. and that is just rotating to the trim setting and short clicking and then setting your trim....thanks grunt!!!

I believe there is a way to "save" changes so they stick, you may not be doing that.
No, I don't what the procedure is although it's easy.

It may also be that your TX batteries are getting low.

Long click ENTER to save the changes, don't just tap it.

Ahhh...that's it....I knew it was easy to do, but easy to miss. Thanks.

Waiting for the OP to chime back in to see if that's the issue.

[shortm88]

i am running stock slash esc and no the long click didnt work and neither did charging bats

[John-e Bravada]

I guess what do you mean by "set forward and reverse"? Rev channels or throttle trims?

First, make sure you calibrate the radio

If that don't work, turn the dead zone up on your radio or turn the dead band up on your esc.

By fwd/rev i think you mean you have to re calibrate correct?

[grunt95]

do you need the hack kit to program the radio to use the other buttons on the radio?

[losikid]

The hack kit flashes new firmware to the gt3b. The new firmware lets you assign what key controls what function. All the mapping is done on-board through the lcd.

ok thanks soo much and do you know y i cant buy things off your sit paypal does not like it for some reason?

[losikid]

It should work, whats paypal saying?

[grunt95]

Got a questions guys. I got rid of my 4pk, which I was running on my short course and hadnt set the gt3b for the sc until today. Got it bound but my esc will only calibrate when I put it in channel one on my rx. If its in channel 2 with steering in 1, the steering works of course but the esc wont connect....Ideas?
