40 can be a touch on the high side for a 13.5. It does work with gearing some - if you want to run a larger pinion you might want to back off timing a little. Opposite if you want to run a smaller gear a little timing and tweak it up. I have seen it work both ways in 17.5 so pretty sure 13.5 isn't that different (don't run it often).

Before I retired I was responsible for a website redesign for my business unit. I can tell you what Nick is saying is true. If you are using a professional web developer and you want the functionality Nick described, it is very expensive and time consuming. Cut the guy some slack, he is trying to make things better. It's not like you can't get ahold of anybody, he is right here on rc Tech. What more could you ask for?

cheers. looking forward to it to get one! and i hope the ezlink program card is backward compatible :tire::blush::tire:

Having trouble calibrating my black edition to my transmitter.
1. Hold button for three seconds, enters calibration mode okay.
2. Pull full throttle and push button, acknowledges full throttle setting okay.
3. Push full brake and push button, then it starts chirping and won't stop until powered down.

Help!

I had a similar issue, I forgot to reverse my throttle setting in the radio..
Worth a shot..
Oh make sure your expo is at 100% max both ways as well..

Tried the throttle reverse but same result.

Already maxed out on travel at 125 in both directions.

Funny thing is it worked fine in a different car.

Hmmm that is weird.. try it at 100% just to see..

I started with epa's set at 100%. When that didn't work I moved them up to 125% which is as high as my transmitter goes. Still won't calibrate.

Bob,

Biggest thing I have seen is that the speed control could be having an issue finding neutral on your radio. Each model on the radio sends out a little different signal. First thing I would try is to move throttle trim 2-3 steps in either direction and re-try the calibration.

The EPA setting for our system should be 100%, going higher can make the throttle and brake feel too soft because the throw becomes too long.

If you are still having the calibration issue after the throttle trim, you could try a different model or re-bind your receiver to transmitter. I have a 4pks radio and one of my radio models will not calibrate with the throttle at neutral, tried it with 4-5 speed controls. Move the trim slightly, no issue.

PM me if you have any other questions.

Sounds like a couple of good suggestions there. I will try them tomorrow night.

Thank you.

I'm having trouble with my VTX10R. When I turn it on I only get a solid red light and no power to the receiver. I changed receivers still getting the same think. Anyone with ideas on what to check?

sounds like what I had with my VTX8. anything change in your setup (new servo, etc).

I had to send my esc in for a replacement.

No everything is the same. I know the ESC will not come on with out a signal from the radio.

Have you tried the esc with it being the only thing plugged into the receiver?

What are you using specifically for gear?

Hopefully Nick may be able to provide better steps to try, but we were unable to get the ESC to "kick over" once that happened and it had to be replaced.

I've been using this same setup for about 6 months now along with two other people but they have different servos. I want to say I did try it with only the esc but I will try it again tonight. I'm also going to try a receiver pack to power the receiver to see if that makes it work. If it does I'm thinking the esc has lost its output power.
