Just apply reverse a little to slow it down. Don't jam into full reverse, as this will most certainly strip gears sooner or later.Originally posted by rpmmaxx321

Then the ESC is possibly bad. I'd contact the fella who sold it to you.Originally posted by rpmmaxx321

red= battery +
blue= motor -
white= motor +
Which I-speed is it? You can probably download the manual so you know what you're doing.
edit - you can find the Duratrax manuals here.Last edited by razer; 06-01-2004 at 08:06 PM.
