Need help with Tactic TTX650...

[GjtBob]

Well, Im still having problems finalizing the setup. I reset the esc to the factory default, I have the steering servo working correctly using the right stick, and I got the shift servo to work on one of my 3 way switches.

However, I only have forward direction, (or reverse if I swap the wires), as I DO NOT know how to set up the throttle stick to be in neutral, or off, when the stick is centered. I have read the manual thoroughly several times, but I DO NOT see anything referring to how to do that. I see where I can set the tx to mode 1, but then it tells you to swap the throttle ratchet and the elevator spring to the opposite switch/stick, so I'm assuming that would leave me with the same problem, just on the opposite stick.

I have double checked, and the esc is set to enable reverse, ie: not in race mode, well I think I have, since I can't fully set up the esc's throttle function.

Again, I am using a Tactic TTX650 tx, a Tactic TR624 rx, and a Takiya TEU-302BK esc. I admit I am a total newbie at rc, and I feel COMPLETELY In WAY over my head, I desperately need help with the throttle stick issue, as I truly believe THAT is the cause of my set up problem.

Did I make the wrong radio choice here? If so, what would be my best/ easiest to set up radio that is in the same $150- $175 U.S. price range, that I could get help with if I continue to have problems, as it seems not too many people are using the Tactic system, or at least they're not saying anything. Sorry if I sound sharp, but I'm completely frustrated here, and my build is at a stand still until I get this figured out as I DO NOT want to be simply building a static keep, or "Shelf a Queen" as I seen others reference.
