MGM controller question / No brakes??

[TDC57]

MGM controller adjustment Help??

Ok gentlemen, here is what I’ve got:
• I’ve got the MGM Compro 160 amp, 24 cell brushless car / boat controller it's New!
• I'm running a Neu 1515 3d s motor
• I'm using (2) 3s Venom 5400mAH lipos
• And I’ve got it all hooked up a Spektrum 2.4GHz radio / receiver.

Here is my issue / questions .
When I power it up it will move forward (no issues)
When I go to apply brakes?? It just instantly goes in reverse??
I have no brakes what so ever.. (Hence my problem)

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)
Type of model (car) <=I=>
Brake / deceleration is @ medium 1/0,39s
Acceleration is @ 0.65s
Timing is set at automat
Behavior when battery voltage is down is set @ reduce speeds
Battery type is set @ 6Li-pol
Range of the neutral zone is set @ 12%
Automatic correction of the neutral is set @ no
Freewheel in set @ no
Auto brake in neutral is set @ no

What have I done wrong?? are what should I be doing??..
Again the forward works great! No brakes just reverse

Thanks so much for your time!!

Is this at low speed or at all speeds? I have same controller, and it will do the instant reverse at low speeds, but the brakes work at higher speeds. Try it in forward only and see if brakes work.

Unless Im mistaken, you want the freewheel set to yes, otherwise it will be like having drag brakes which many find annoying.

Looking at page 4 on this link:http://mgm-compro.com/manuals/en-man...1x-d160807.pdf It displays most of the options- the brake delay thing is quite handy, since it allows you to set the delay between you hitting them, and the brakes kicking (and how hard too). The acceleration setting is like punch control really- the longer the delay you set, the longer it takes for the motor to spool up.

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.

Hay bdebde!. it does it at all speeds.

forward works great at any speed (rev-up-down) no issues. when I apply the brakes "anytime" it instantly goes in reverse?? Once it's in reverse I can speed it up and down! And then I can back to forward..

Just no braking?? And I need brakes!..

What about the rest of setting?? any thoughts on what i should change and or adjustments??

Thank you for your time..
