|  Problems Calibrating Sidewinder Micro
Trying to calibrate my sidewinder micro and I get past the full throttle and full reverse but it gets to where it's supposed to be neutral and it just beeps and flashes yellow... Yes my EPA's are set at 100 and my throttle trim and subtrim is all at 0... Any other ideas why it might not be finding a neutral signal? I'm using a Futaba 4PKS TX with it... Tried it with different batteries all fully charged as well... Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

you have a castle link? If so widen up the bandwidth on the esc, that may get you fixed up.

Is the throttle channel set to reverse? Futaba radios usually need to be set to reverse to calibrate. Another thing that usually solves this problem for me is changing the firmware version. Update to the most current version or if you are already there, downgrade to a lower version then update to the current version again. I don't know why this works but it has solved calibration problems for me three times. |

Tried that already and it didn't help Quote:
I've tried reversing it and it won't go into calibration at all if its reversed... Updated the firmware to the latest yesterday before I posted this... I'll try downgrading and upgrading again and see if that helps... | ||

Bump your trim a click or two in one direction or the other.

Just tried downgrading and upgrading the firmware... Didn't work at all... Newest firmware supposedly fixed calibration issues for sidewinder micro... Doesn't seem to

Figured it out... Tried calibrating with a different radio and it worked... Tested it with my Futaba RX in another truck and it again with the Corona RX's that I'm wanting to use and it didn't work... Went to RX System on my 4PKS and where it says response it was set at high speed... I just changed that to normal and it calibrated fine...
