Is there a way to reverse throttle/brake on the esc? Couldnīt find it in the manual.
Yes in Hotwire, there is a check box for motor reverse. You have a hotwire adapter ?

Thanks!

Yeah on the RX8 there is a motor type 7 that is reverse motor, but i don't think its the same on the RSX.

I was helping a user at the track the other day with a RX8 gen1 in his SCTE. Only way we could get the ESC to calibrate was reverse motor via hotwire. Would not do it in the transmitter.

Make sure you've installed the diffs correctly in the car you're using. The esc is not setup to run reverse rotation out of the box.

This car may require reverse rotation OR you've got your diffs in backwards.

Hmm, thatīs an idea.
I have used a Hobbywing esc/motor until now, with the motor mounted pointing rearwards.
Now i have switched to RSX esc/Viper motor and put the motor pointing forward. Help med out here, should i switch the diffs around with this change?

I'd wager yes. On a few cars that allow that style swap, they flip the diffs. Check your manual and make sure I'm right.

Yup, just checked the manual. For this configuration the diffs should be shitched around. Iīll test it tomorrow.
Thanks!

My data logger doesn't seem to be logging data. When I select download, the status bar displays then quickly disappears and nothing is downloaded. I've tried clearing the memory through the Hotlink app and by pressing and holding the INCR button until it chimes, but that doesn't seem to be helping. This seems to occur after long periods of not downloading data. Re-updating the ESC with the current firmware seems to be a work around, but I have to restore my settings and re-calibrate the ESC to my radio.

Any ideas?

What software are you on? What streams are you recording?

250. Set up for all of them. If I go an extended period of time without downloading data, it stops recording everything. Erasing whatever died data there may be doesn't restart logging. Re flashing the firm starts it logging again.
