Hi all. my good friend MRK1@1 has kindly sold me his re-issue LunchBox Tamiya kit and Acoms gear, i've built it all up (have done a few kits before, so no problems with set up).

The motor turns straight from the battery, steering servo is all present and correct.

It came with a Tamiya TEU-101BK speed controller which has an LED and a 'SET' button.

When plugged in, I pressed the 'SET' button, and the wheels started to move forwards at a fair pace on their own. Moving the control stick up just sped the wheels up. Pulling back just stops the wheels, so basically I have no reverse.

Are there any instructions for setting these up!?

Thanks

I think it has to stop before it will reverse.

Edit: apparently works on some speed controllers but not this one, ignore.

Some speed controllers only have forward and stop, i think this is compulsory for racing them. I dont have a clue why though as i love to be able to go back wards when bashing my cars about. I think you'll need to adjust the trims on your control pad to stop the wheels when the stick is in the middle.

Sorted, thanks all

EDIT: Reverse can be toggled on or off on this ESC. In trying to work out how to set it up, i'd turned Reverse off!

Teehee
