for some reason im getting more power in reverse than im gettng in forward. any possibile reasons for this? im running a mamba x with 25 esc. all colored wires are matching and it looks fine. i have a feeling there is a simple solution for this, i just cant figure it out.

Check your endpoint adjustments. Do you have the Mamba Link?

try to switch around 2 wires on your motor and switch around channel one on your tx.

the endpoint adjustment isnt an issue. i just reprogramed the esc and still the same. i just started to use the mamba link, i was thinking that it may be an issue with throttle curve to brake curve. the wires should match the color correct? black to black, red to red, and white to white. it sucks that i go forward and it trudges along, i put it in reverse and the tires balloon like crazy.

Try plugging the red to white and white to red.

are those wires supposd to be reversed? seems odd if they are.

Just try it!!!!

What maxxdout and T9 are getting at is that your esc might be programmed backwards or something, the way to fix that is to reverse your motor (switch any two wires) and reverse the throttle on your tx.........or you can try to reprogram the esc.

thanks fellas. ill give it a try.

big terp 77

no luck. still backwards. i switched the wires, giving each way a try. im going into the link and see if anything is screwed up.

is there anything else it could be? im still having no friggin luck

It is normal

big terp 77

normal to have no luck, or normal to have more power in reverse?

How do you know you are getting more power in reverse? Post a vid if you can.

i think i finally got it. my tires were ballooning in reverse and not forward. i rearranged everything about 10 times and something i did must have worked.
