Default Help!!!

I have a tamiya tt01, as soon as the car is plugged in and the controller switched on the car will go backwards on its own constantly.


Any ideas???

Thanks

flip the channel 2 reverse switch on your radio
If that doesn't do it put it back, and then recalibrate your ESC (look at your ESC instruction manual for the process as each ESC is different)

Don't forget to make sure the throttle trim is set to zero, which should be the middle. Some radios the knobs for trim can easily get turned accidentally.

First, try to flip the channel 2 switch on your radio
then, If that doesn't work put it back, and then redetermine your ESC .

Agreed, but with a twist: If it's doing it without your input, then there's no need to flip the direction until you can assure it's not just bad adjustments. Set throttle trim to dead center (0), then recalibrate your esc. THEN, if it goes backwards when you push forward, flip the setting or reverse the motor wires. No need to be flip flopping anything if that's not the issue
