Mamba Max Problem?

I have the mamba max and when I program it the steering only works. No throttle. Fresh batteries in my remote. I've also tried different remotes and reprograming the esc multiple times. The motor beeps and does everything the manual says but no throttle. Is the motor bad?

To add to this if you have an Airtronics, or JR, or something other than a futaba you have to make sure the throttle servo is set to normal. If it is set to reverse all of the programming will work properly but you will get no throttle control.

Turn your mamba off and make sure you have the throttle servo setting correct. Then reprogram the mamba.
