Default My Motor "OR" My ESC????

I have a Novak GTB w/ 13.5... I CANNOT ADJUST THE DRAGBRAKE AT ALLL!! It's either all on or all off, nothing in between. I sent my esc to Novak for for repair, they said that there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with it. How do I begin to troubleshoot?? I've tried 2 different motors w/ it (8.5 and a 13.5) both with same symptoms. What do I do???? I have DX3S and at B7 there is no DB and at B8 it is all the way engaged....There is no in between on any esc/radio setting or combo.

What kind of radio do you use? The problem may be in the radio settings.

It can be either. Though you may have tried this reset the GTB to a differnet profile. Try profile #4, count the blinks and set as per the manual. If you cant get it to work have a friend look at it. Some times a second set of eyes may notice something that you missed.

Check the throttle dead band and ATL settings on the radio. I've seen ppl get these settings effed up and it can wreak havoc with the throttle and brake.
