you should call the support line at spektrum, i'm sure they can tell you what's going on.

Grasping a little here, but make sure the plugs are in the receiver correctly, I've seen and heard of that mistake several times. Black/negative to the outside. The light flashes quicker if backwards if i remember correctly.

You probably need to re-calibrate the transmitter's parameters. I forget what the menu item is called right now. I'm at the office, so can't check mine, but there is a mode where you can reset the calibration. Once you find that area, you basically turn the wheel full left and then full right, let go. Pull the trigger full throttle, then full brake and let go and then save.

Don't do this with the receiver on.

You might need to re-bind after. You will need to calibrate the ESC after.

I think the menu might be called "parameters" or "reset parameters". Something like that. If no one else responds before tomorrow, I'll check my radio and let you know. I'm pretty sure this is what you need to do though.

^ locked: Reset - Parameters - Yes - then move the controls as described - Save.

Worth a shot, shouldn’t hurt anything. But then reset everything as mentioned. But if it’s new to you gotta do that anyway as you set it up in a car.

(and hey, get back to work and quit goofing around )

I have recalibrated the parameters and reset the esc. But not both at the same time. When I get hone from work I'll try again. Is there a way reset the whole transmitter to factory default?
