Help Diagnosing No Throttle - BRXL, AX3/AR3

[spankbomb]

Rig Specs: SCX10, BRXL, Axial AR3/AX3, 3S 4000 mah 20C battery. Just installed a BRXL to replace a worn out AE2. Calibrated and programmed before going out to Rock the Lake this morning. Ran it briefly (10 minutes, not full throttle), and then lost forward on a climb.

Reversed the bullets on the motor and the switch on the transmitter, gained forward, but now had no reverse. Got the rig home and have tried to troubleshoot the issue with no changes. I have swapped out batteries, swapped out motors and have switched the throttle/steering on the AR3 receiver with the no changes to the original problem. Any help is much appreciated.


Thanks,
Jon D.

If you switched the transmitter from Rev to normal or whatever your TX calls it, it probably won't work. Most escs need the tx to read REV.
Reprogram the esc. With tx on rev.
If the motor spins the wrong way adjust only the motor wires. Doing both cancels out the action.

I reversed the transmitter, but kept the motor wires plugged in regular and still no forward.

Did you reprogram, set your throttle points?

Hit up our warranty page if you are getting green lights but no forward. Sometimes electronics dud when they are new.

John,

Will do. I am getting a solid green LED when I pull the trigger but no forward.

Thanks,
