1-Did you try calibrating the ESC to the RX? Normally you need to set throttle trim to "0", EPA's to 100% before calibration. 2-If you did one, try plugging the ESC into the steering port on the RX, see if the ESC works by "steering". This will narrow down the issue area. |

Yea.. Same thing happened to me. You have to calibrate it to your radio. I thought I had a DOA

DK, I am setting up nearly the same rig right now (MRC Pro, xcelorin, etc.). I was trying to mount the xcelorin motor last night and am having some alignment issues, both with the motor and the pinion. Did you use the motor mount screws and pinion that came with the MRC Pro? If so, any issues with that? Does the pinion line up properly with the spur gear (not the mesh, but left-to-right)? On mine, it seemed like only part of the pinion was going to line up with the spur gear, with the rest of it hanging off the side. Thanks, DVD |

My Xcelorin dropped in with no hassles at all. Are you trying to follow the illustration in the "manual"? It won't work, the set screw must be on the motor plate side of the pinion not forward. Then you must be sure the pinion's shaft sits within the motor openning in the plate. I used the supplied screws washers and split washers. It all went together effortlessly. |

I got it all set up last night. I ended up having the same issue as the OP but quickly got that resolved, thanks again to this post. I took it out for a test drive on my backyard course and....Oh my gosh! This thing is a hundred times better than the RTR MRC! And to think that I paid less to put this one together than what I paid for the bind-n-drive. TOTALLY worth it!
