Did you set your throttle to the rev position on radio before calibrating?

tried setting throttle to rev before calibrating and it improved braking but only slightly. It does slow me down but not a brake but more like down shifting a manual transmission.

Couple things come to mind. One is to check your EPA setting on the radio. I usually set mine to whatever the max EPA is on my radio, worked with both my KO and M11. If that doesn't work, try setting your EPA on radio to 100%, then after you program, bump the EPA above 100% and see if that adds brake. Third thing is to be sure that once you set brake to 100% with the program box, you have to hit the "OK" button. Otherwise, that setting is just stored on the box, but isn't sent to the speedo. That's true of all the programable parameters. Once you have it where you want it, you have to hit the "OK" button.

with the gt2 lpf you also have to set full reverse with program box that came with it to get more brakes. or find someone with the lcd box and put in new software then you have to turn rakes down i did. you wont be turning on reverse just reverse force

I'm only running 25% reverse force and have more than enough brake, but that's with the 323Stock software. What software do you have on it right now? As far as the cable, it's just USB on one end (for computer) and mini USB on the other (for the box). Should be able to get one at Fry's, Radio Shack, etc. This assumes you have the LCD program box, not the LED one. You can't upgrade software with the LED box.

1. You have to get the LCD programmer box in order to get the latest software, your ESC is not running the latest software, I am 100% sure of that.

2. I don't know what you are using the ESC on, but our 323stock software, especially the brake, is incredible. Alot of the driver has to decrease the % because it is too much for them. Thats why you have to get the LCD in order to upload the latest software.

3...like other mentioned, you have to do the rev on throttle (it is stated on the user manual), set your brake to 100% or so...then, the REVERSE setting, set it 100% as well...the reverse setting has everything to do with the brake. At least, on Speed Passion ESC.

Let us know what your finding...

Btw...is your LPF purchased new or used..? Just wondering.

yeah I have no lcd box. only led. It is near new condition according to guy I bought it from on here and he has 100% feedback and seems trustworthy. It looked new when i got it from him. other than the no brakes it is very smooth.
I am running it in a kyosho ultima sc truck.
motor is a tekin 13.5t sensored motor.
various 2s lipo batteries.
futaba 4pl radio.

the lpf was out of stock everywhere with a list price of like 116 bucks. I bought this for 80 from a guy on here since everywhere was out of stock. He shipped it to me while I was on vacation and when i get back from vacation speedpassion has them in stock with a new low price of 89 bucks. DAMN!! LOl

so I got to drop another 30 for a lcd box. too bad I couldn't use my castle link or tekin hotwire. I got programmers coming out of the wazoooo. LOL

thanks for trying to help me guys. hope to get it running good soon.

Try what kstarr said and turn your reverse force up to 100%, see if that makes a difference. That will at least hold you over until you can get the LCD box. I can't remember for sure, but I think even the LED box will tell you what software version you have. That would be helpful, because you can then look on the SP site and find a base setup.

I got reverse turned all the way up along with brake force. drag brake is set to 0 because i dont want drag brake. I guess I am going to have to get a lcd program box to make this thing work.
