Default Front motor & esc

I'm having trouble with my MOA crawler's front motor.

When I am in 4 wheel drive and I go into 4 wd reverse it's fine but when I stop then try to go 4wd forward only the rear motor will drive forward. I can then select front motor dig only and it works fine then I go back to 4wd drive and all is good again.

The problem only arises when I go into 4wd reverse then try to go 4wd forward.

Anyone have an idea what's wrong ???

It has new Holmes motors, new Micro Mambo's, new castle bec.

Plug both sec's in to castle link, make sure they have identical settings, look at the forward\reverse settings. Make sure they are on the same firmware version to.

Sounds like one has a double pump forward/reverse setting.

Part of what I like about CC ESC's (or ESC's based of the CC programming) is that you can make a profile for one ESC (brake type, motor type, throttle curves, etc.) save it and then load it into another ESC.
Start with the same firmware though.

Turns out it was a programming issue. One of the settings was put on a 2 second delay to go forward after reversing. Problem fixed !
