When I had the car in my pit I could watch it run then when I would let off it would stop for a second then run backwards for a spilt second then go forward again. I tired a new receiver, extra cap, reset everything and still the problem was there. I dont know if I would have done any better in the mains but the car stopping on the track 2 or 3 times a lap didnt help me out much. When the speedo was working it was awesome but now I dont know it is just strange how this happened. Maybe I have a bad one aswell?
I have seen this happen on a Tekin R1. The problem was he was running an Orion motor without the sensor wire. Once he hooked up the wire the problem went away. Whenever possible I would always recommend running the sensor wire unless of course you're running a sensorless motor.
