MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Got the TX running with the ESC!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But screwed my brake servo in between -lol-

It was working opposite direction to the esc - so it would brake when i throttle on... tried to swap/resolder the 2 pos and neg wires in the servo - and screwed something up in there, cause it aint workin no more!!! -rotf-!! I'll grab another sevro and have someone that knows what they're doing play with it -lol-


It was a bit of a mix of the exponential and throttle trim settings i think - had to play a bit with subtrim on throttle - and exponential, as it was pretty sensitive around neutral throttle - so i think that was my problem -lol-

I havent run it yet cept in my room (bout 5 meters or so -lol-), as i'm having that problem with the brake servo - it is applying brakes when i throttle on... tried to resolder the pos and neg wires inside the servo - but i think i screwed it, because it's not moving anymore -lmao-!!! I'll pick up a new servo this weekend, and have someone PROFESSIONAL screw with that.... prolly didn't help my iron is mega huge for the job -lmao- Not to worry - gotta learn someday right? -lol-



Another thing i noticed, was that when i went to brake (with brake servo disconnected) it would actually apply more throttle to the motor??? Is this something to do with the "Airplane" and "Basic" mode settings? or something else?

I still havent got into the PC programming - do i need the BEC to be connected with a y-harness aswell as the esc input to the USBCOM when programming with PC? The PC program doesn't seem to respond to the controller when it is turned on (batts connected) after i connect it....

I open "Controller" program ---> Plug in USBCOM---> Connect ESC to USBCOM---> Plug in batts---> No response? Does the BEC need to be connected aswell somewhere possibly?

But this is good - i'm getting closer and have had a major breakthrough with this tx! -lol-
