I bught the havoc 3s for a scale build Im doing but I cannot get the esc to program for instant reverse. Is it possible to get instant revers or am I gonna have to deal with hitting the brakes, waiting a second then getting reverse?

ANy update on the M2 Dig Esc? Some say late Feb, was hoping it may be sooner? Thanks

[Shoei1]

My set up
Losi Comp Crawler
7.4v 1700 35c
Goat esc 13.5 motor with large rotor

Well what i would like to know is why reverse has double the power/torque and wheel speed then forward.

I have tried to reverse the motor in the esc and have also calibrated the esc backward. I have also done this many different ways.
what can I do?

I think the title of this thread should be changed to this email tech@teamnovak.com thats about the only help you get here. Maybe the tech guys from novak could log on here and maybe help us out couple time a week. If not this thread makes no sense without the help.

Your point is well taken. We should just delete this thread.

I am going to use the above address to see if I can get an answer to my problem. I thought I would put it on here too. I just recently got a Crawler King, and installed a Rosster Crawler ESC. At 1st , on both profiles I did not get any drag brake. Then if I push the set up button while power on it blinks repeatedly then I had some brake. Now it does a slow roll down hill and will not hold its position without holding the throttle mid way. Is this normal for the WK Trans???? THANX!!!!!!!!!!

[ericinMD]

You might want to e-mail Novak tech support. I have a feeling that's what you are going to be told after reading the last few pages of this thread.

Read the instructions, do the one touch, then go into the programming and adjust the dragbrake.

[Rockfrog]

uhhh ... when did the Rooster get an adjustable drag brake? According to my instructions there are just two proflies to choose from,
1. w/o LiPo cutoff, and
2. w/ LiPo cutoff
Both profiles having 100% fwd and rev, and drag brake at 90%

[indiana mudcat]

I assumed the rooster had the same basic adjustments the goat does, guess it don't have squat. Still though it sounds like the OP isn't doing the one touch correctly.

Novak....

I'm planning to run (2) 21T Ballistic Motors and (2) ESC's with The Dig unit on the Berg MOA axles. Will this work? Any suggestions?

Thank you!
