    Sounds like some adjustments need to be made to your Radio.

    Throttle trim maybe.

    What ESC do you have? It sounds like it might need to be reprogrammed.
    For everything else, theres Tower Hobbies...

    Either take off your pinion or move the motor away from the spur. Then reset your throttle trim to 0, then re-program it.

    Why not just unplug the motor? Then reprogram/ mess with the throttle trim.

    That doesn't matter, it shouldn't do that. Look in the instruction booklet, there should be some steps the re-program the unit.

    He can't reprogram an AI. They have automatic setup.

    Because then you don't know if it worked or not.

    Call their support, it is possible it went bad or there is something else.

    They're distributed through Team Associated here in the states. I'd call them. They seem to be easy to deal with. I called them about repairing an ESC for me (an older LRP F1) and they seemed friendly and helpful. Still haven't sent it in yet though...
