    X18 tandam transmitter problem

    Hi, for some reason I just can't figure out how to get reverse using the X18 transmitter. I am using a hobbywing 1060 speed controller which I have set in the forward and reverse setting. For a test I used channel one input and channel one output, using pot 1 to control. Ok I get the motor going one direction but not the other. I see that in the software there is a reverse switch, so I move that to on. All this does is ask for a second channel output. So how do I get reverse, does anyone know. Thanks

    Can you send a picture of that mix?

    It should look like this (Mix edit)

    then scroll down...this shows the reverse switch "Off", as you said make sure that's "ON"

    Scrolling all the way.

    Make sure the Transmitter Firmware is up to date.

    Center of the POT should be off (1500us). Not sure if you're curve is right, or the "Weight" up and down is equal.

    The GOOD thing about motors is there easy enough to fix rotation by either swapping the two leads (brushed), or any two of the three (brushless)

      Hi, thanks for your reply. Well after spending fruitless hours trying to figure this problem out. It turned out to be the motors of the various pumps I was using. In the end I found one that turned in both directions.
