I would start by checking radio settings and then calibrate ESC/ radio.

Zero out the controller then bind it to the reciever again. Then set up the speedo from there.

I've had enough too.

Break is what all you no talent, incorrect word using hacks do to your cars every time you put them on the track.

Brake is what is suppose to happen to your car if you push the throttle trigger forward passed neutral. I know weird, the trigger on your transmitter has positions other than neutral and full throttle.

As for the o.p. If resetting everything on your radio doesn't fix the problem, try another model memory (if that transmitter even has another model memory). I have, on many occasions, witnessed weird issues with Spektrum radios which otherwise could not be resolved, fixed by switch model memories and reprogramming all the settings. Spektrum radios are okay for the price, but there is a reason you don't see non Spektrum sponsored pros using their products very often.

Try to recalibrate the throttle on your radio. Also if you have a program car for your esc you might wanna recalibrate your esc.

Man it's off topic as can be, but you have just illustrated his point- what you meant to say was "your" (showing ownership), not "you're" (you are, as in being). To be honest, it bothers me as well. Not that people should be expected to be perfect, but simple usage of the English language is among the most basic things we are taught in grade school. The fact that a huge percentage of people on here (and elsewhere for that matter) absolutely fail to recognize proper usage is, well, disappointing to say the least.

Back to the OP- it sounds like if radio settings do not cure your issue, then you need to dial out some drag brake. If you're unsure of how to do this, the best bet is to hit the local track or hobby shop and see if someone can walk you through it. It's not difficult, but can be intimidating if you've never done it and is not easily something you can walk through over the forum.
