CC Sidewinder Programming - No Reverse
 

I've recently bought a CC Sidewinder for my crawler. I'm using it with an external CC BEC to handle the servos for my brushed motor 55T

To program it, I did the following:

. Pulled the trigger on maximum (100 EPA) throttle and turned on the ESC, the light turned flashing green.
. When the light turned flashing red, I pushed the trigger forward at brake position (100 EPA)
. When flashing yellow, I relieved it to neutral, then it turned solid yellow.

The crawler works fine with moving forward and steering, but there is NO reverse.

What am I doing wrong? I'm using a Futaba 3PM 2.4ghz radio system.

Thanks in advance.

Those are a pain to set without the link. I had a hell of a time catching the beeps etc. Your best solution is to have your rc ready to go on a table and call castles 800 # and let them walk you thru the setup. I did and have since gotten a link.

Just spend the extra $20 for the Castle Link and then you can set the ESC the right way to handle a brushed motor.

I guess I can spend another 20 bucks. Is this also for brushed motor since it only mentions brushless?

Castle website also says that the adapter software does not support brushed controller, but no mentions of the brushed motor.

Thanks.
