Default Tx programming

Note: I am pretty new to radio programming, as I usually stick with the stockers.

I recently picked up a dx3c but can't get the throttle epa low enough, can only hold in nuetral position by applying brake. This must be common tx knowledge; some method I'm not trying? Sub-trim is for servo only, correct? Thanks

Have you tried programming the esc to the radio? That should take care of it.

There should be trim and subtrim for the throttle too. Like post above, zero trims, set end points to 100 and calibrate esc.

I agree with both other posts about calibrating it to the esc. But if its a stock non calibrating esc then its a trim problem. If you go to the sub trim setting scroll the box down to where it says steering and hit the wheel selector. Now you should be able to scroll the wheel up to change to the throttle settings. Adjust your f/b trims until you find neutral.

I haven't seen a non-calibrating esc in years.

Well I got it worked out via throttle trim settings. It is a non-calibrating esc; I think an fxr is in order soon. Thanks for the replies

I was thinking of the axial ae-1 as the non calibrating stock one

I couldn't find any info on it either. Weird. I know I've done it before.

IIRC, with the radio on, you hold the throttle down, turn on the truck, wait for a beep, move the trigger to full brake, wait for a beep, then go to neutral (let go of the trigger). There will then be a sequence of beeps and you're done.

I may have the reverse to neutral part backwards. Its been a while.

To be safe, keep the wheels off of the ground, or remove them entirely and let the rig sit on the axles.
