Default Left = Forward Right = backwards (beginner needs help!)


<div>Please excuse my absolute ignorance as I am a total beginner just completing my first boat build which is a cat hull with twin motors and twin ESCs. My transmitter is a Futaba 6EX and the receiver is a R617FS. I have clearly connected something up wrong as (using right hand stick on my controller) if I push left on the controller stick my boat goes forward and if I push right on the stick my boat goes backwards.</div><div></div><div>Could anyone provide a suggestion to my blind stupidity so that when I push forward on the stick my boat goes forward!!</div><div></div><div></div><div></div>Thanks in advance. Mark

i'm going to guess that you hooked up your servo's in the wrong ports.try swapping them.

Here is an easy way to always remember which servo goes in which channel port on the reciever...



Channel 1 to turn
Channel 2 to burn

Some transmitters have a fixed 'modus' (car/boat or plane/heli)

There are some that you can change the 'modus' .

Or maybe you just have to plug your ESC's into other ports on the receiver.

But being a Futaba .. you can designate your stick's to whatever receiverport.

Just take some time to read your manual.

Just to clarify .. do you have a separate rudder ... or do you use the engines to steer ? (like 'tank-control')
