Default mamba max pro question

I just installed a mamba Max pro and a tekin red line 21.5 turn sensored motor and when I drive it , it seems like reverse is really slow, I have read through the manual but nothing useful

Check your transmitter reverse end points,also you can program the esc for the amount of reverse you want.

Yes. The default reverse speed is 50% IIRC.

Had the same thing recently on my first install/setup with a MMP. Had to program the reverse to 100%. Nice and easy if you follow the instructions and can hear well. The esc beeps at a low volume. Or maybe it is my loss of high freq sensitivity from years of working on and around turbine engine helicopters.

I am having similar issues with a MMP... Its slow goin forward and fast in reverse tho. Forward and reverse values are both set at 100% Remote throttle rate is set at 100% as well... When i change rotation via castle link and reverse throttle channel of remote its still the same, slow forward and fast reverse. Any ideas???

Sounds like mechanical timing in the motor.

The Ballistic has a 15 degrees timing built in. If it needs to "reverse" for the truck to move forward then that might be your problem.

My motor also has 15 degrees mechanical timing, but I didn't notice that much of a speed difference when I had it running "backwards". Current consumption became a major concern though, as it pulls much more with negative timing.

It could just be a soldering point on your motor, a 21.5t? That's a really slow motor, but that's my opinion, it could be an adjustment on your mamba max pro, if not call a tech., that could also be like a timing adjustment or even a setting witch the reverse is set higher than forward, idk if that would help but hope it does, - axial 4x4 crawler

open up your endpoints and then recalibrate the esc.
