    As a long time RC guy, I can sympathize with the wrong mode thing. It's easy to accidentally hit a switch, and in a lot of cases, the wrong mode screws the operator badly ( happened to me too many times ). That said, I would call it a successful test; 1/2 trigger is 70, there is room yet. Great job !!

    So when I did the update on my dx5,I found out immediately that off road and wheelie mode are backwards. If you scroll down
    1 screen you will c it say off road,street,and wheelie on the monitor screen.also,if you scroll down 1 more,that's your telemetry screen.go in there and you can set up all the telemetry. Motor and esc temp,rpm,mph,amp draw,battery voltage, all of it.other than the 2 modes being backwards, I like using my dx5 for the bike,for some reason,it feels more precise,plus the timer and telemetry is bonus.

      @earlmoorhead5555 when I turn my radio on,it's set on off road first,the dx3 was always in the mode that you used last,and yes,I back flipped down the blacktop is when I figured that out! So I always check the mode first with the dx5.had to reprogram 8 models after that software update,but only my crawler was time consuming, all the rest are just 2 and 3 channel.

      Your asking alot out out of a rc, that was capable of about 42mph. I'm sure the trans, pinion, drive train will take the 4s juice, if you pay attention to the slipper, and punch setting. In my opinion, put the supertune to tire/wheel balancing. Lower the front forks, heavy oil. (need to lower, reduce travel, and slow the reduced travel way down. Same with the rear monoshock. Lower the shock with a limiter inside, and limit the travel on the outside. Of course it won't be much good anywhere but the tarmac. Mine is set up for tarmac only too... sorry for the rant, but your data info is good. Thank you.
