Mounting my MGM Compro?

[TDC57]

I'm assuming this is your first MGM, they are picky but worth there weight in gold.

Let’s start at the basics,

Step one, programming your radio to your ESC:
The controller switch must be off. Then plugg in the batteries into the controller. Hold full throttle and turn the switch on. Keep holding until you here 3 beeps, grab full brake until you hear 1 beep, and then move to neutral until you hear 2 beeps. Then shut everything down, hook up all necessary wires and turn it back on and go to programming on your laptop.

Step two programming mode:
This can either be accomplished by either your computer or radio, here is the computer method, if you need the radio one let me know and I’ll post it up.

Laptop programming:
I do have the USBcom+ and I have the smaller CC02 that connects to my controller port.
My computer does recognize my controller as the following:
Controller Name -16024-3Cars
Controller Version 3.14
Last Change 11/01.08

Trottle Min is @ 1.107
Neutral is not highlted?
Throttle max is @ 1.898

Number of poles is set @ 4

Now for the Usser settings! (for what it's worth)

Here are my current usurer settings
Car <=I=> (forward and backwards)
Brake / deceleration Light2 / 0.26s
Acceleration 0.26s
Timing automat
behavior when battery voltage is low going down reduce RPM
Battery type 6 Li-pol
Range of the natural zone 3%
Automatic correction of neutral No
Freewheel NO
Automatic brake in neutral light 2.

These are my current setting. Then I hit write to Data and then turn everything off and unplug.

If all else fails try the site instruction @ link:http://mgm-compro.com/manuals/en-man...1x-d160807.pdf It displays most of the options I think the instructions online are better than in the manual, so it may be worth having a read to compare them- hopefully they will make more sense

P.S.
I have the same controller!, I had to buy an external BEC to power up my RX. Here is how it looks.

Thanks so much! I was able to "program" my Radio to my ESC.

But still can't get my USBCOM+ to recognize my controller. I tried downloading the "Flasher" updater software, no joy....

The controller software sees the unit, but it says I need a newer version of the ESC software and to download it. But I can't based on my previous sentence.

So, if you wouldn't mind posting the way to program my ESC via the Radio, that would be SO appreciated!

When I power on the ESC via the main switch with the EPA for throttle set to max or 150%, all I get is the flashing red light. I reckon I must be in programming mode....

I guess I'm closer? Just need to be able to program the settings via the radio?

Man, I did a search based on pizzaman's suggestions and found that "$100 Reward" thread. I'm so in that boat right now.....

BTW, I noticed in that thread it says to set the "neutral" to like 9 or 12%. What is the "neutral" setting, EXP?
