Mini that sounds like the problem. Whenever the rear is turned down if you reverse you will still get 100% from both motors. That's why you are having the problem in forward throttle only (as you described over the phone). Well, I hope that's it.

Dual BR-XL's. Decased and de-heat sink-ified. And wired together. Used two 3mm bullet plugs to separate ESC's for programming and calibrating. I cut down the Rx connectors too.

Total weight is 2.5oz with Rx, BEC, etc. Without Rx, about 1.8 oz.

Notice the new addition to the BEC. Castle added a mid-sized capacitor.

Just wanted the say thanks. I recently ordered the BRXL Waterproofed ESC and I LOVE IT! So smooth and having auto lipo cutoff for up to 6s is beyond cool. Having two scalers is double the fun, but also double the cost. So when funds become available I will be ordering another one and a couple of your motors. Thanks again for a great product and unparalleled support.

Finally got the BR-XL soldered up and ready to roll.

For some reason I cant figure out the stick programming. Ive followed the instructions to the letter and still cant get into the program. Could it be that I have reversed the motor wires, so while going full throttle goes full throttle, the ESC is actually thinking Im in full reverse?

Could be. Do you get green light with forward throttle? That is what you need.

Red light Guess thats the problem!

For some reason though, I cant get it to reset back to where the green light actually represents forward. Not a big deal though. Got into the programming mode fine now that I know which way to push the stick.
