|  Worm gears + Super Rooster = no drag brake Quote:
I'm gonna wire the thing up backwards and see if it works so it coasts going forwards. I mean, I have no idea why that would happen at all. | |

The esc is coasting to a stop, probably part of the programming that smooths out the glitching issue.

Either I'm incapable of running a controller in reverse, or flipping my radio TH channel to reverse and swapping the wires around made no difference. Reprogrammed the ESC a couple times, wired it one way, reversed this, wired it the other way, reversed that. No change. Still coasts only in reverse. JRH, glitch issue with a Super Rooster? Did I miss something? |

Have you tried a different motor in there to see if you get the same effect, it may not be your super rooster but your worm gears?? Just a thought.

Well here is a question: Do the worm gears "push" or "pull" on the ring gear? That just might have something to do with it.

SUPER rooster, my bad. That is weird. Can you push the rig by hand in one direction? |

Cory, what if while re-programing, instead of giving full throttle, you go full reverse & then full throttle when it asks for reverse?

Does the ESC have a push control setting? Worm gears should not coast, at all, ever, due to the design. There's practically no way that the wheels should move unless the driveshaft is doing the moving, or the gears are broken. |

It has something to do with the trim on the TH channel. I have the same thing happen with my FXR. Unless the radio is set to (0) before you sync it to the esc weird things happen. Try moving the trim one way and then the other. It kind of acts like a Push setting . |

Ya what he said I knew there was something wierd but I agree...... With that note its electrical...... like the esc or tx isnt centering/going neutral. or voltage is being stopped slowly at the end like a bleed off of voltage  | |

Hey! Thanks for the input everyone. I've been pondering about this most of the day today, and have come up with diddley squat! It's got to be something in the ESC. Quote:

I'll do it all over again, and change out the Super Rooster for a Tekin FXR since that's easy with bullet connectors. I will reset and reprogram and all that stuff before I try anything. Assuming everything will work normal, as in it will lock up when off throttle, I will then go back to the Super Rooster and make sure it still does what is happening. After that, I will change to a different motor. I have a 35 turn Integy in there currently. | |||||

Alright, so the first thing I did was change the ESC to a Tekin FXR. I got everything on bullets so it was easiest. Alright. WTF? The FXR acts the same way. It's got to be the radio. Brand new DX3R. Everything is at zero. Trim some forward in it and it still does it. As of now I'll stop caring, or swap the motor, or try my DX3 again. | |
