OK so this is a little confusing and maybe by re-programming the ESC I messed up how Donziikid had the truck setup but my opinion the motors leads had been soldered on backwards....

This is kind of hard to explain so hopefully to simplify:

I put the ESC into race mode so 100% throttle, 100% braking, 0% reverse

I had the TX setup as per the defaults

I pulled the trigger and the ESC lights up but the truck does not move indicating to me that the brake is fully on, I figure OK my channel 2 is reversed so I push the trigger and the truck moves backwards.

Still with me...

I changed the channel 2 toggle switch and repeated the test, pulling the trigger the car moves backwards, pushing the trigger the break comes on

Again in my opinion the motor wires needed to be switched around as forwards was backwards but backwards wasn't reverse... if that makes any sense, since doing that the truck operates as I would expect

Now it appears as though both my SubC packs are toast so not sure how much use I'll get before having to buy new ones
