Did it always do this? If so, try recalibrating the RX to ESC.
If not, did you change the steering servo?

What radio, what steering servo, what battery type & qty of cells.
, do you use an external BEC?

Thanks for the reply

i did put a new servo in it didnt do it for a little while and now it just does it.

i have a spektrum dx3e i have a savox steering servo im not sure what kind of savox and i have a onyx 7.2v 3000mah nimh battery it actually quit for a little while after i hooked my winch up to the reciever and then started up again. i might get a new motor and esc anyways but i would like to fix it so i dont have to
if i left anything out let me know and ill awnser Oh yea i dont have an external BEC

I am having a problem with my XL5 also, when I go forward the motor runs at full speed, reverse is slower also, I have a lipo 4800 and an integy motor, thanks for any help, and sorry to hijack!

Sounds like it's in Mode 2 jrod, full power forward and 50% in reverse."thumbsup"
