Can't calibrate controller to speed controller
I have been following the instructions that came with the mamba and can not get it to calibrate. When I plug the battery in and apply full throttle and turn the switch on and wait for the mamba to flash green nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

RE: Can't calibrate controller to speed controller
make sure the esc is in channel 2 on the rec. also, my mamba's plug can fit into the rec. both ways, I have plugged it in backwards before, but the easy way to tell if that is your problem is if you have steering or not. I had no steering either when it was plugged in backwards.

I have deans connectors installed and I starting playing around with them. If its halfway plugged in the speed controller works but only until its time to press full break. I also noticed the speed controller getting pretty warm.

RE: Can't calibrate controller to speed controller
Thanks for the help guys. I figured it out. I had to adjust my endpoint adjustments, but I think that deans connector is bad. I have to have the plug half way out for it to get power. If I plug it all the way in, it has no power. Mugen, I have a 3 cell apogee lipo. Man this thing is fast, just about lost it in the sewer drain on its first run.

keep it away from th3e sewer drains....lol. There have been a few folks on here that lost them due to the huge sewer drains that are apparently down there.
