Funny thing, I can run for 1, 2, 3, 5 minutes as long as I do not use the breaks. Once I use the breaks I loose forward. Something is wrong because I can not turn it off. If I hold the button down, nothing happens. Once I turn it on, it goes through the boot, then the red LED just flashes. I can not get it into program mode or turn off.


Buzz.
Yes, if you bought it Feb of 2014 it would still be under warranty. Our warranty length is on the longest in the industry. Very strange that the issue only occurs when press the brake. Especially after running for a few minutes. The description that you give above, like was commented on the other page - seems like your radio is not holding a neutral point. Once its programmed to neutral, it follows the signals it gets from the radio, if the radio strays from neutral to brake (which is sounds like in your description). it may not go forward or go fast at all.
