Default No reverse ??????

Ok, for some reason I have very little or no reverse. When it does go in reverse it is very slow and has no power. I am running a sidewinder with 55t novak, and a spektrum dx3.0 . I am an absolute newbie and have read the manuals for the tx/rx and esc and have no idea what to do. Everything was working fine until I recharged my battery. Planning on going to my LDS tomorrow, but thought maybe I could save a trip by asking on here.

Thanks

possibly need to program the sidewinder or turn reverse on on the remote if you go to you hobby store most have the castelink cord for the cc products which works for the sidewinder and you can program everything

With the 3.0 you may also have to crank your brake way up to get to your reverse,if that makes any sense? Try holding your radio in reverse,and turning up the brake.

Most of the Castle ESCs come programmed for only 50% reverse...you need to bump it up to 100%.
