Then when i went to test drive I pushed the throttle stick forward nothing, but when i pulled it backwards it went foward. Need to find a way to turn the stick sensitivity down throttle real jumpy. Next is to install the Novak 55T motor in it. Still considering a GRU also. Thats all for now. Dave

Dave. you just need to adjust the EPA on your shifting and you will get that gear to work right. The REV the throttle channel to get your FOR and REV working right. Now you dont need a GRU if you put a 6 tooth pnion gear on the motor that is all it takes that is how all my trucks are set up but 2 have GRU and they are all the same speed. My motor touches my servos so you are good on your room. You can also adjust the sensitivity of each stick some remotes call it punch control too depends on brand..
