I have had 2 RTR Associated cars in the last year. One was an RC10B4.1, and the current one is a SC10B. Both of these cars had the same ESC issues, no problem with forward, but consistent issues with the brake to reverse transition. I am not new to RC, and have been in the hobby for almost 30 years consistently. I followed the set-up instructions to a "T", and could never get consistent performance, and sometimes would even have to go get the car because I could not get reverse to activate. Both with stock RTR radio's.

The one I currently have is the SC700-BL from the SC10B and have given up on it also. With both cars, I finally gave up and swapped in VXL ESC's I had left over from other Traxxas projects, and in both cases, all problems were immediately solved. Am I doing something wrong, or is this just how they are? And I know what the first ? will be, and yes, I did have the transmitter throttle trim to zero before set-up. Any idea's?
