Just be glad that I do not let them near the computer. I can only imagine what they would type. It is hard enough to keep them from making eye contact, can't have the servants looking at me.

OJCrush - Try it with the freewheel off and see what it does. I know it is a pain to change just one thing and them run the truck, but sometimes that is the only way to get it right. And make sure that you have all ofthe weird settings in the spectrum centered. I had a JR 3i fm and it gave me fits until I thoroughly read the manual and made sure everything was setup correctly.

Nah, it's not a PIA to keep making adjustments. I'm sitting on the floor with my laptop making changes.

I've tried one thing at a time and damn near broke my wrist when it took off right at me as I was trying to drive it in.

Everytime you hit the brake, it ACCELERATES for a second or two and then applies brakes.

You should see my wife's car.... I smashed the ground effect (fiberglass) when it ran into it. (thank god I own two bodyshops)

I'll try it again with freewheel off.

Ha, I own a bodyshop too. There are quite a few BS owners on this site. Brian from Bombproof has a shop too. Not a bad business, pays for RC! Where are your shops?

[JERRY2KONE]

You might try locking into some kind of stand before doing anymore testing, just to be sure it will not hit anything else expensive. Then once you have the settings where you think they need to be test it in an open field or an empty parking lot where there in nothing else to hit except you. JUMP...

One shop is a 10K sq. ft building for collision repair. Last Tuesday was our 11th year anniv. Everything we do is word of mouth and referall. No phone books, no advertising.... It's in Indian Trail, NC.

My other shop is only 2 years old. It's a 12K building that does collision and mostly restorations. At 2 years old, it still sucks. (takes a while to really get established)

It's in Monroe, NC.

Well, I'm doing in the garage and using the driveway as my test run. I've learned to stay away from everything and I did have to jump at one point...lol.

It's hard to remember that hitting the brake gives it gas for a second and then it brakes. (breaks...lol)


I don't know what else to do. I've changed about every parameter one parameter at a time. Same issue.

I had something similar with both of my 24.160... it works almost like a air plane ESC, just like Serum said, it would slow the motor down if you went down with your throttle... I've tried adjusting the freewheel option also, but it didn't do anything for me.... You have a lot of problems man, wish I could help you out more..

[JERRY2KONE]

Just what we need another lincpimp painter in the gang to stir things up. Don't you have some bodies to paint linc. No worries orangecrush we can always use more imput and it's always nice to have nubies in the bunch. Not only do we try to help out here, but we like to have some fun to. Watch out for linc though. He's got wild animals running around the house. Lets hope that with a few days in here you might be able to settle your issues with the MGM. Good luck with that.

Have you tried setting the brakes to very hard? Some people reported that that fixed the problem for them.

Actually, I tired hard (the second setting of hard), there were two settings harder but I didn't try them.

I fixed the trans (had to replace a pin) but one of the times that the throttle floored itself, it trashed some steering servo linkages.... point is, I took it apart so the POS controller will have to wait.

Does it speed up every time or only some times?

Sounds good, no advertising! I keep an ad in the yellow pages, it works but costs 400bucks a month!

I have owned mine for about 3 years, and grew up here as my dad bought it when I was 12. We do about 1/2 and 1/2 owner pay and ins, and I do not do any direct repair for ins companies. I stay busy, especially last week, no time for R/C!

Good luck with the mgm, I am awaiting the MMM as much as you are...

I'll try to explain it better.

I'm running 30 mph. I hit the brakes, it's almost speeds up for about 20 feet and then slows down and stops like normal.

If you're running 4-5 miles per hour, it'll stop like normal. The faster you go, the worse it gets. It literally TAKES OFF when you hit the brakes for 20-30 feet and then all is normal.

As long as you're over the 4-5 mph, it'll do it every time. I have tried EVERY setting possible and can't change the results.

Yup, same here... no DRP's for me. Of course, it hurts when times are slow. You're right, last few weeks, we can't breathe... it's been BUSY.

I can't wait till the MMM comes out. I've had too much trouble with the MGM. I'm done with it.
