Unhappy Throttled but it goes Reverse?!?!?! [Airtronics MX3S]

So I bought a used Airtronics MX3S locally. I just switched receivers and started to try and configure my SLASH's stock ESC. Everything goes well on the setup. Then when I ran it, my Slash goes reverse. I hit reverse on my transmitter and it does not do anything. I try many times to configure it, and nothing. Steering servo is works too.


I'm new to this radio, any setting I am missing? Thanks.

Default Reverse

Try switching the servo reverse switch for the throttle. Even though it is an esc it still reacts to this switch.

Right now the Steering and Throttle is set at REVERSE. If I switch the Throttle to normal, my r/c starts to run automatically. If I switched the Steering to Normal, the steering flips and instead of right going right, right goes left.

change the throttle to normal, and reset the esc to the controler.

Default Switch

After you switch the throttle only and it starts to go by itself if it goes in the right direction adjust the throttle setting on the transmitter (not the switch).
Leave the steering switch so the steering is in the right direction. If you cannot get the throttle adjusted at the transmitter you may need to adjust the esc. If you are having problems after or dont competly understand this let me know and I will talk you through it.
