Default I am a noob.. Need help!!!!

Running brushless setup with MMP and had to rev throttle in radio.. Reverse has twice the power as forward. I can figure it out with trial and error but someone who knows what I need to change please let me know... Thanks!!!!

Swap radio setting back to the other was and swap the wires going to the motor

Thanks Bro!!! Have done that and did not work. I reversed it back to norm in the radio and swapped the red and black wires to the motor and all it did was vibrate back and forth. Will get some sleep and hook the MMP to the computer and see if I can change it with Castle link...

What radio? Futaba or other brand. It seems that futaba radio need to run throttle in reverse for most of the ESC.

When you pull the throttle (forward) what color LED blink in the ESC? If it is green, then you are fine. If it is red then you should change the radio throttle to the opposite.

Then use castle link, and change the motor direction to the opposite so you car go forward when the green light on ESC flashes. you can set the reverse to be 100% too if you want.

Also like above mentioned, calibrate your radio to the ESC so at max forward throttle, the green stays on and at max reverse, the red light stays solid.

It is a DX4S... I was up till 4AM getting everything soldered and was happy just to get it going. Will check everything out today and see what is going on with the light on the MMP. When I first bound and calibrated the radio to the MMP had not reversed it in the radio yet. This setup on the TFT, MMP and Novak SS Crawler Motor seem to be good so far. Nice throttle response and will do a wheelie if I gun it... Thanks for the response Bro!!!!
