Default m8 and sidewinder

does anyone have a problem getting their m8 to work with the sidewinder esc my other radios work fine with the esc . the m8 has the spectrum my other two are fm. m8 will not read neutral unless you turn the epa brake down to 72% then the esc goes crazy.

My M8 settings on epa are at 110% forward and brake.

If I remmember right I set my mamba max by holding full throttle, then full brake at the red led, then nuetral at the yellow.

Is your esc not retuning and accepting the nuetral during setup, or is your radio not returning to nuetral? Deos the car keep driving even when you let of the trigger or something?

I always start with my full Throttle EPA and brake EPA at 100% when setting my Sidewinders and Mamba Maxs.

Sounds like something is not exactly setup right for you. I know on the Futaba radio I needed to reverse my throttle servo to setup my speedo. I can't remember if I needed to do that on my M11. I will have to check that tonight when I get home from work this evening.
