And I have t give major props to Robert at KO for suffering through this with me and trying to trouble shoot it.

Also-I want to be clear that I dont think the wandering EPA's, etc is caused directly from initially setting epa's and subtrim per se. What it is is being in a certain range of numbers (d/r in the mid ranges of say 40 to 70), epa's in the same range and subtrims (any value other than 0, but maybe worse if value is say 10 or higher).

Now those combined with changing d/r while driving and maybe all by itself will cause radio to not hold the Endpoint steady.
Hey Ray,
I was talking to a buddy of mine on the phone last night (Brian Busse, you might know him). He informed me that there is a way to re-set the Helios much like you re-set an ESC, by recalibrating what the radio senses as the end points. It is the "Adjust VR" function...it might be worth checking out!
I just re-set mine last night. It's pretty easy.

i noticed no big difference on teh GMV12's.. but I reset them at 140% and they seem "a bit" smoother... maybe its the placebo effect.. but hey.. im game.

Does anybody know how to reset an M11... not reseting the models (tried model reset still same problem), but a total computer reset. I have some weird things going on with this radio. Servo will not center in radio, when moving wheel left to right the servo does not come back to center. center point is off... brake endpoints are off.. I have been racing for years and I now how to use this radio, but I am totally stumped on this one.. anybody having this problem. all endpoints are at 100, sub trim at zero. Keep in mind I did a model reset, problem still exist.

When you reset the model did you reset the speed control?

That honestly sounds like your radio needs to be sent in for repair. A racer at my local track had similar problems with a brand new M11 and repair fixed it.
