okay i feel stupid knowing now that the steering was that easy to fix!! i've tried recalibrating the vxl3s like it says, pull throttle when is flashes red once and hold it, flashes red twice full reverse and hold it. flash green once and its complete. i tried it a few times and it would never flash red twice until i let go of the throttle to put in reverse. then it would never flash green. but at least now i can use the reverse trigger to go forward but no reverse. i'm charging the battery and gonna try to recalibrate it again
