New to crawling and just got the Element RC Senduro So i just got the Element RC Senduro and really excited to take it out to some rocks. As i was driving it around the house i noticed that when it goes pretty fast in reverse vs going forward. Is this normal w/ a rock crawler? |
Re: New to crawling and just got the Element RC Senduro Not normal, but it happens. The first thing to do is to zero all of the trims on the radio and them recalibrate the ESC to the radio's throttle. |
Re: New to crawling and just got the Element RC Senduro Thanks for the reply. Will try to do that. |
Re: New to crawling and just got the Element RC Senduro It is also possible the throttle on the radio is reversed and the motor leads are backwards. The ESC is actually running in reverse but with the motor wires backwards, it will spin the opposite direction so everything appears correct. Reverse ends up faster because a lot of brushed ESCs can pass more amps in the forward direction than in reverse. |
Re: New to crawling and just got the Element RC Senduro also try not to "drive it around the house" much. the overdrive front wheels don't play nice with the rear unless you are on dirt. |

If it cant drive around a house how well is it gonna do on the rocks? |

I disagree with this statement. |

Re: New to crawling and just got the Element RC Senduro I also noticed this same thing with mine as well. The reverse is too touchy, a small reset often meant running backwards out of control off a ledge... May have to just go get a HW1080 today at lunch.... got em in my TRX4-Sport and Gen 8, might as well add another to the family... |
Re: New to crawling and just got the Element RC Senduro taking notes here... i might try swapping the motor wires and running the TX throttle reversed. |
Re: New to crawling and just got the Element RC Senduro huh. might have to try that. i made a crazy assumption freewheel = no drag brake. looks like i need to do some experimenting... once my 79 ford ascender is drivable. |
Re: New to crawling and just got the Element RC Senduro Its a 70/30 transmitter so the reverse is super touchy. That is normal. You can tone it down with a different ESC. not much that can be done on the transmitter, but turning up the d/r on the throttle channel will help smooth it out at small throttle amounts. |
Re: New to crawling and just got the Element RC Senduro so if i swapped to a different tx/rx…? bummer as i actually like the RTR radio gear for the 3rd channel. ironically i bought a 4 ch. radiolink for a winch setup but discovered none of the channels are 3 position lol woops! |

Re: New to crawling and just got the Element RC Senduro Back in the 90s when I worked at an auto repair shop, we kept getting a customer who blew out his transfer case on his xj Cherokee. Got like 3 rebuilds from us under warranty. We later found out this clown was driving around constantly in 4 high. |
Re: New to crawling and just got the Element RC Senduro Don’t ever do figure 8s in a 1:1 HMMWV outside the motor pool with your Captain watching. You will wind up mopping the deck, outside, in a rain storm. ;-) Ask me how I know. :mrgreen: |
Re: New to crawling and just got the Element RC Senduro HOW DO YOU KNOW? :mrgreen::ror: it was in a HMMWV that i got my military nickname... GUNNEREA my last name was pronounced wrong. sounds like RAY but when assigned my position it was pronounced REE-YUH. :roll::lmao: |
Re: New to crawling and just got the Element RC Senduro Did OP get the fix for his Q? Posted elsewhere...in the updates thread. |
