Traxxas Velineon 3m problem

[nikzak]

I plugged my Velineon 3m ESC in and it won't go in reverse. Front works fine and brakes works fine, but no reverse. Do you have any tips? Is there a reset button on it?

Thanks in advance.

your prolly in race mode, meaning forward and brakes no reverse, your manual will show you how to change it, or download the manual from this traxxas site...

there are 3 modes your esc can do
50% throttle 50% reverse
100% forward 100% reverse
and 100% forward and 100% brakes only, no reverse

You must be in race mode. Switch it off and when you switch it back on, hold the button until you see just one blink. That is normal mode. 2 blinks means no reverse, 3 blinks means training mode.

I tried different modes and still no reverse.

What servo are you running?

[nikzak]

Stock servo.

[Jimmie Neutron]

This may be weird, but have you tried unplugging it to see if you get reverse back?

[nikzak]

Just tried, still nothing. Is there anything I could do to fix it with out sending it in.

[Jimmie Neutron]

I don't know whats going on...
maybe its time to call Traxxas.

[nikzak]

Probably but I think they are closed now.

When checking the ESC modes, did you follow these directions on page 18:
