Default airtronics MX V HELP!!

Ok so i have an MGT 8.0 and just purchased a new airtronics MX V and binded. Well i have no brakes and no reverse but steering and throttle are fine as well as the rev/fwd servo work. Something is in the programming i cant figure out. Anyone a clue how to fix?

Try checking the channel 2 reverse EPA setting. It should of come set at 100% but wouldn't hurt to check. I usually use the EPA setting to set my brake throw.

I'm just guessing here, sounds like a similar situation I had. I don't know.
When you bound your radio you pulled full throttle, but did you push full brake/reverse. Your ESC sounds like it's not recognizing your radio's brake/reverse signal.

Ok do i put the aux switch to H or L? I set them both to 100% no obviously no ESC and,when i turn the car on the aux servo turns completely one way. Like the trim is way off on it or something and theres like,i said no backwards no brakes... i dont get it. Its been like that since bind. And my throttle was all out of wack, it was 100% on, i finally fixed that with trim.

I really like my MT-4 a lot, range is great, and reaction to input is almost seamless. I'm still figuring out the effects of all the adjustments.

That's the way they (e revo) seem to me too, all that power and exposed suspension, seems like a potentially expensive car, they look like fun though.
