We need more info, and if that doesn't work for you try going to:

Hobby Action
705 E Guadalupe Rd Tempe, AZ 85283
(sw corner of Rural & Guadalupe)
They should be able to help as well.

Sorry,

It's a Tekin Rebel 2

Radio is a DX3 Specktrum

Servos are Hitec HS-645MG

Not sure on the motor

Have you calibrated it per the instructions?

I haven't used a DX3, but I know the Rebel 2 can be picky about throttle postion. a trim pot or EPA being out of adjustment can cause it to not calibrate properly.

Its simple thing to over looks, but with my slightly older JR radio, I always have trouble calibrating to the ESC when the batteries in the radio are low.

Yeah, thats the one ^^ I've tried and to the best of my knowledge I"m doing it per instructions.. I dunno. I'll try changing the batteries and such. I know nothing about setting the trim everything :( it's all set to 0 right now I believe.

Try reversing the throttle channel


also, slowly adj. the throttle trim from min to max and watch for any change in the light on the ESC.

try replacing the batteries in the transmiter also... And, make sure that you use high quality rechargables!
