Oh, thats actually pretty simple for me, I have it all worked out. I will program the ESC as normal on the throttle channel. Full brake will actually be "full brake" on my transmitter (with no tricks). Neutral be neutral, throttle be throttle.

Then, channel 3 will be mixed in (since my CRX has channel mixing) to operate the servo for the brakes. The Servo's EPA will be set so it does not move (or moves very little) while throttle is applied.

Thus, when I power up, I hold full brakes (arming the ESC and applying the actual brakes at the same time), and then drive as normal.

If the ESC somehow has a problem seeing full brake every so often (when I am braking), I will simply make two profiles. 1 that has the EPA for full brake on the ESC channel set to normal, so I can arm it, and the other one set to 0, so the ESC never actually receives any brake level signals - just neutral to throttle. (The CRX's have 20 model profiles, so I don't care wasting 2, even 5 on one truck...since I'm only using like 2 between the two trucks I am using it on right now, and one of these will be sold to help fund this project).

Edit: Which HV are you using star? The 85 or 110?

I had the HV110.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but there is no "nuetral" position on an airplane controller. Just so we're on the same page, If you don't "trick" the esc into setting full brake to nuetral, your throttle will act just like an airplane stick meaning nuetral is half throttle. If you plan to use it the way you described, then as soon as you begin to let off the brake you will be engaging forward throttle ( (50% reverse trigger = 25% throttle, Nuetral = 50% throttle, 50% forward trigger = 75% throttle etc) and if you can handle that, then you are expotentially more coordinated than I. I have a hard enough time driving my truck as it is :005:
I hope this makes sense.
My experience has been that half throttle may as well be WOT.
Trust me, I fought with this for a week or two and never experienced a consistant setup because of that damn'd "reset" glitch.
I would have escalated this issue to Castle but I'm sure they would have told me that they don't support these esc's for cars so I gave up. Maybe you can sweet talk them into some support :dft012:

BTW
I have to do this same "trick" with my MGM 12032 "hydro" version. The MGM must also be armed and this arming functionality works very much like the CC HV's but does NOT have this "reset" glitch when I apply brakes so its a trust worthy setup. I'm just waiting for my 1515 2Y to show up so I can run 8S on my G2R :017:
