Default Aftershock 8E reverse problems

Took the Aftershock 8E for a spin after a 3 month lay-off because of back ordered parts and noticed an issue with the reverse not kicking in.
It works every now and then but hardly ever; anyone have any ideas?

Hey, I would suggest to rebond the ecu with ur remote controller. Follow the instructions in the ESC user manual under the topic "Connect the esc, motor, reciever, battery and servo". 4 step process. Worked for me. Good luck

Hey Jorge Take a look at your throttle trim. Make sure when the car and remote are in neutral position that there is no light lit on the ESC. If there is turn the trim till the light goes out. If the trim is off you will loose reverse.

Thanks Kurt;
I am not to familiar with those trim controls on the remote when it comes to adjusting an electric but your solved the problem; all I need now is some screws with those bushings or whatever they are (BS903-017) like the ones in the picture.
Do I have to order the entire part to get some extra ones; probably right?

Thanks; if you don't have any of those things I'll try redcat later to see if they can send me some.
