No brakes
 
I am running a TB04 with a Orca MK2 pro spec esc, reedy 17.5 and futaba 3pl. I don't have brakes. In the air the wheels stop but on the track it coasts all day. I reset radio and esc with no luck. Any ideas?

When you reset your radio/ re bind your receiver, are the EPA's set at 100% for forward and reverse???

Everything set to 100. Reset esc to factory settings. Reset model memory and rebinded radio. All other cars work fine.

Interesting....

Ok my process for troubleshooting would be this...

1. Put the RX in another car an see if it works correctly. Don't adjust anything, just put it in and see if the throttle and brakes work like they should.

2. Swap motors. could be a weak rotor or stack. Possibly a bad sensor card or sensor wire?

3. Swap speed control.

Its going to be one of those 3. Good luck.
