apply forward throttle and truck goes reverse??


       Remove this ad - become a site supporter!
I fixed my spur gear and now the throttle is messed up.
When I apply forward throttle, the truck goes reverse. I tired playing around with the remote and I couldn't find anything with the drive reverse button thing. I took the motor out and I removed the spring off for the throttle and I put it back...maybe I installed it wrong I don't know??
None of the servos were touched just the motor taken out and put back.

it's a revo 3.3 so you all know.

Thank you rctori

Is there a servo reverse switch on your transmiter for the throttle? just a thought

Re: apply forward throttle and truck goes reverse??

What are you using as your radio? Most radios will have servo reversing. You would reverse the throttle channel.

Re: apply forward throttle and truck goes reverse??

are you saying the big red switch (forward/reverse shift) next to the throttle trigger is not working?
or is it simply not shifting in to forward in the gearcase,
is the shift servo moving when you hit the shift button?
is the shift servo connected to the gearcase?
if it's the gearcase you left a part out or have something broken or disconnected in there

Re: apply forward throttle and truck goes reverse??

I'm using a 2.7 remote.
I'm not sure if the red switch is working, I never tried it.
I haven't touched the transmission or servo.

Thank you rctori

Re: apply forward throttle and truck goes reverse??

no idea what a 2.7 remote is, you might want to download the manual for the truck

this truck uses four servos on three channels, one channel each for steering, throttle, and gear shift

the gear shift servo is the small one, it should move when you toggle the red switch under your left thumb, it should be connected to the transmission, it should shift the transmission between forward and reverse

did you mean 27MHz radio? doesn't matter

manual here:

Re: apply forward throttle and truck goes reverse??

I found out whats wrong. its not the remote. I moved a pin that connects to the tranny so its stuck in reverse. I'm going to push the pin in and see how it works from there. I totally forgot I moved that pin.
lots on my mind lol.

Thank you for your help tho
