Default Car reverses in reverse, but no forward

Hi,

A quick internet search instructed be to switch a wire, but it is a sensored system. I ensured all the ABC's lined up together.

It is the Speed Passion system for the rtr Durango's (co-incidently in my kit DEX210). The ESC does not reverse, so maybe the forward (no movement) is actually the reverse.

I am not sure what I have done wrong. I have bound it to a new transmitter and the system used to run with a 10.5 motor, the 13.5 motor has just been re-attached for carpet racing this weekend.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Update:

A local guy on facebook came over and reversed the throttle on my rx. The manual did not say it could do that, but I am glad it can.

I assume you meant reversed throttle on tx. :-)

Since you changed the radio and motor, did you recalibrate the ESC?

I would re-calibrate the ESC and make sure your trims are set correctly on your radio. Also make sure your TX doesn't have your Th reversed.

Verify that the motor is turning counter clockwise. I just realized that ESC doesn't have reverse so either the motor is spinning the wrong direction or you're playing with the 3/4 gear transmission and didn't switch it around.
