Default DX3S Issues..... Need some help.

I have been using my DX3S on crawlers and touring cars, (no need for insane braking). My controller has just enough brakes to stop the wheels when your holding it. When I decided to put it on my off-road stuff, it has no braking at all. (Almost lost an sc10 due to this). Braking is at 100% on controller and speedo. Any Ideas out there? (Using mutiple Tekin and Novak Speedos.)

Braking comes from the ESC / Motor

Have you calibrated throttle and brake endpoints in your ESC ?

What ESC settings do you have setup for braking ?

Cheers

When you calibrate your ESC you want your throttle and brake to be at 150% on your radio not 100%. That could be part of your problem.
