I have followed all the instructions to get this thing setup.... and I CANNOT get it to recognize full throttle.... It only goes to the next config when I get it to neutral. Can anyone pulease help me... thanks.

More info, please. What radio are you using, and what do you mean by "the next config"?

Full throttle is the first setup step, then full reverse. Neutral is the last step in the transmitter setup.

If you bought it from JRH, he's already done it for you, so it should be plug and play.

Could be your throttle channel is reversed.

I cant program the radio endpoints, only the software programming.

yes, what radio.

S-Dog · 09-03-2006, 11:06 PM

sorry.. I am using a TQ3. By next config I mean get to the full reverse.

Heres the setup. I plug the mamba into the revolver(I had to find the mamba somewhere else because JRH hadn't had them for a while),then the maba into the receiver. I made sure the mamba is off and my TQ3 is on. I then plugged in the battery. I pulled the trigger full throttle and turned the mamba switch on. At this point I THINK that(not sure) after the 4 seconds while still at full throttle I am supposed to get the confimation beeps. I only seem to get those beeps when I release the throttle.

I hope this is enough info. BTW that BL Revolver is AWESOME sounding.

Wouldn't the Castle link help you? It is AWESOME,worth every penny to me.

S-Dog · 09-03-2006, 11:57 PM

I dont know if it would help with the controller issue that I am having. I havent even gotten to the programming portion yet. The bigger issue is that it doesnt help me NOW.

Oh,OK. Just tossing out ideas,sorry I couldn't help

S-Dog · 09-04-2006, 02:12 AM

lNo problem man..... I want to get a Link.... from what it sounds like , thats the only way to fully exploit the power of the brushless....

S-Dog · 09-04-2006, 02:16 AM

I just looked at RockWorks post.. it looks like it just might take a bunch of tries? Iwill try that this morning.... I tried about 15 times last night.

S-Dog · 09-04-2006, 02:49 AM

Well I guess it took no sleep to figure it out. I finally got it to program when I started in reverse..... The little channel button thingy was reversed.... Thank you for your help.

Don't you hate that??

S-Dog · 09-07-2006, 02:10 PM

YES I DO!!!! I am very happy with the setup though.... WAAAY too much power... I already snapped an axle shaft. The BEC has enough power to use both servos (1-133oz and 1-225oz). That was a pleasant surprise. I NEED a castle link because the thing stalls every so often when climbing a REALLY steep grade.... BL 4 Life!! haha

K_B · 09-07-2006, 02:26 PM

I'm surprised you can get two servos to run on the BEC. What kind of batteries, are you using? Good batteries help with the stalling and gearing will also help.

S-Dog · 09-07-2006, 02:41 PM

6cell tenergy 3500's and the servos run flawlessly.... Im happily surprised.

bktoys · 09-09-2006, 03:49 PM

I just went brushless 8\31\06 and i'm totally sold on them. I can hardly believe the power they have. i put a 6v regulator on mine and it improved servo power by about twice. And JRH is really helpful when you order them .
