Need Help w/ Mamba 6800kv
OK I got it installed and used the castle link to update some of the configuration but in the process of hurry up and go I forgot to program my radio to it so it knew where full neutral and reverse where so no it just goes real slow or stutters at full speed and also just stutters in reverse. Does anybody know how I can make it forget my radio? I tried following the direction but that did not work. Also what start power should I use low med or high I am using the propulse 1400maH battery?

Yea, return the radio to stock trim settings. Reprogram the ESC. Below are the instructions if you need them.
Unplug the ESC with the RX power switch on the car still on.
Wait 10 seconds for the caps to drain and turn the RX switch off.
Reconnect the power with the radio and RX switch off.
You should hear some funny noises and all the the ESC lights should flash.
Turn on your radio and squeeze the throttle to max.
With the throttle on the transmitter at max throttle turn on the RX switch on the car.
The green light will flash and then make some noises.
The full throttle position is now set and the red light will flash and make a noise.
Push the throttle all the way to max break and the ESC will make more noises.
The max break setting is now set and the orange neutral light will flash.
Let go of the throttle and let it return to the center position.
The ESC will make more noises and then return to normal operation.
There is also low level settings.

The full throttle position is now set and the red light will flash and make a noise.
At this point keep the throttle on the transmitter at max for another few seconds and you'll hear more noises.
Now you can set the start power, break and other settings.
I hope I got the steps exactly right.
About starting power, level 1 should be enough but if the car sputters just off neutral bump it up a notch. You'll know which setting is right after a couple tests.
