Default Sub trim question?

Ok why is it that i have to set my SUB TRIM on my remote all the way up so my motor does not want to run? If i have it on o sub trim then the motor just runs what am i doing wrong? Hopefully someone knows.

If this helps i Run Novak Brushless motors and use DX3R remote. Thanks.

Follow the instructions for your speed control.

You need to set your radio to neutral settings then set travel and neutral on your speed control per instructions.

Then your motor will operate correctly to the throttle

This is the first time I have heard someone using the sub trim feature on the throttle side to be honest! I think something is not set up correctly in the first place. I would try and reset the speedo to your TX to start off with, maybe it did n't work correctly the first time. Cheers, Chris.

If possible post what type of radio/speed control you are using.

As others have suggested it sounds like something is off in your transmitter or you need to reset/setup your speed controller again. If you aren't familiar with adjusting either component, it will help others if we know what you are using.

HE Runs Novak Brushless motors and use DX3R

reset all the adjustment to ZERO. then do the intital set up for the Speed Control.......if you have done this please check the Reverse setting that pulling the trigger makes forward motion.........it could mess with you as well.

Also, if you need to reverse the throttle servo setting in your radio, you will need to re-bind the Rx to the Tx. Otherwise, the failsafe position will be full throttle instead of full brakes (assuming you set the failsafe throttle position to full brakes when you performed the initial bind operation). Easy way to check is 1) raise the chassis so that the wheels don't touch the ground 2) shut the Tx off. If it goes full throttle, you need to be-bind. Of course, this is after you have reset the subtrim back to 0.
