I tried 4 motors and nothing but drag works. either radio makes car 1 work fine, both radios don't work for car 2, so its the brand new esc.

i matched setting form car 1 to car 2 and still nothing.

Did you clear the model before set up?
I was hoping you would say m12, there is a setting in it that will cause this problem.
Th exp off, endpoints to max?

I would like a m12 but I can't sell out my old stuff.
i tried both radios on the car with brakes and they work great. so thats why I thought it is in the speedo.

Yes, unfortunately Unless a reciever is just bad this would only most likely be caused by a bad esc or an improper setting in a transmitter.

If nothing else works I would try this...

Always reset the model & start over with a different esc. Adjustments can prevent other esc's from functioning. Even the same exact ones.

Smile Found my brakes! Now I need programing help

I bought a truck used and I had the same problem with my Edge ESC, Tried 2 different radios and receivers and had no brakes. Tried all sorts of different settings on the radio (Futaba 3pm 2.4, R603FF receiver) till I noticed the radio was in PP mode. I changed it to Hr S mode and EUREKA I now have brakes!

Now I need a instructions on how to program the EDGE esc. The Novak site has been down for quite a while and I can't find instructions except how to calibrate the receiver to the radio
