SAVED MY ASS!!!! I had my tractus UDR up on a table and press forward and all of a sudden it went flying off the table backwards. Had no clue what was going on. But your video was spot on. Thank you so much.
This just happened to me with my TRX-4 Defender! Throttle was reversed out of the blue. Searched and found your video here. Watched video, followed your instructions, and BOOM it’s back to normal. SUBSCRIBED. Cheers! 👍✌️
I changed out the servo on my XMAXX and when I turned it on for the first time the throttle controls were reversed. I thought I’d done something wrong during the install but I was able to follow your instructions while watching the video in real time, thank you so much!!!
I know if I had the manual it tells you in the instructions on how to set everyone by button mashing on the controller. Just don't know where I placed that stupid manual. I could have just went on TRAXXAS and downloaded. Oh, well. Maybe next time?
You are a life saver. I am rebuilding my Traxxas Nitro Stampede and when I was testing out the servo I noticed it was braking when I hit the throttle. Thanks so much Richie.
It did work and I thank you! However I wasn’t aware that the receiver required power so anyone reading this should know to have the receiver on. It did work, even after I powered it down and on again, so let’s hope that it stays proper. Thanks!
Awesome! I worked on my tmaxx today and somehow when I turned it on the throttle brake servo was in reverse ! Followed your video in less than 5 minutes it fixed ! Easiest fix by far ! Thanks Man !
Thank you this was very helpful. Haven't drove my 4tec in a year & powered it on & was going in reverse. Keep making these videos you're awesome and informative
I’ve just installed a hump pack 5 cell to my t maxx 3.3 and it reversed the throttle and brake, I thought I was doomed, well thank you. Does any one know why that happened to me? I just installed the jump pack that’s it.
Thank you! Replaced my stx2 radio on an outcast with a traxxas radio/receiver and had to reverse both steering and throttle. This vid was a huge help! Thx again!
In the castle sidewinder system I think you can do that but in the Mamba X manual it says that's a big no no and it tells you it can cause irreversible damage to the motor/esc. I'll look it up. early on I fried a mamba x doing just that, I think it's to do with the sensored setup, netcruzer if you're out there do you know?
Dose yours have the 70/30 for the Throttle if so could you do an informational video on how to set that every time I use it I can’t get the trims or anything so it just right thank you
I have my Tqi transmitter bound to a erevo 2.0, just bought a nitro slash and bound the remote to it also. The nitro slash throttle is reversed, if I do this will it swap the throttle on my erevo too? Don't really want to buy another remote if I don't have to but also don't want to have to do this every time I want to drive either one
Just got a used RC from my uncle for my son. Have the same radio, the car is in amp Mt 1/10 but has all Traxxas electronics in it. Xl5 is the ESC I believe. Drove wonderful the first day then the second day my son couldn't figure out how to turn it on and did something with the ESC or the radio and now it only has 50% or less throttle going forward and 100% going backwards... It might not even be 50% forward throttle when I pull the trigger it'll go like a third of its speed but in reverse it's almost like it's got all the extra percentage put on to that side, it goes faster in reverse now than it ever did going forward. But the buttons are not reversed so most videos don't help me solve it. All buttons work as they should and in the directions that they should. The car just won't go fast forward. Have you ever came across this problem sir?
When I first shot this I thought who the hells going to watch it and boy am I glad I filmed it as so many people had the same problem. Which comes out of knowhere! Glad it helped out
True but I'd not adise that in every case as it's not the root of the problem, in this case the traxxas ESC (And it seems I am far from alone in this) for some reason just seems to switch into reverse. Although reversing the wires would work on a traxxas esc, as an example if you did that on a castle Mamba X system (like the one I have fitted on my Rustler 4x4 and 4tec) you risk frying the motor/esc as castle specifically say not to get the ABC leads reversed. So yes in some cases but no in others, and I'd not risk $200 worth of castle electrics, hence this method. Thanls for the comment though as I appreciate it will work in some cases.
No not if forward is reverse and is reverse is foward switching the cables still gave me the power of of opposite which was weird but watching this def solved it I get what your saying and most time it’s right but with traxxas it’s remote to reciver bs just went threw it with my e revo 2.0
I wish traxxas would redesign there transmitters like other companies n give u the reverse switch so u don’t have to do all this, well if I ever need to do it now thanks to u Richie I’ve got a video I can refer to
I filmed it as it was a pig of a job, the basic radio traxxas do a video for BUT that don't work on the tqi 2.4's! Found the instructions in a forum and so videoed it as I think it'll help others out, as you say you might not need it today but may tomorrow. Of note my TRX4 also reversed itself....I've touched nothing on the radio, and both have different ESC's. Oh and see my comment below on Castle motor leads.
So many people are finding this useful, I am so glad it's helping out so many. When I filmed this I was thinking 'Is anyone going to need this or find it useful' but figured if it's happened to me then it would to others!
Happy to help, when it happens it happens with zero warning! I shot this thinking no one will ever be interested yet in terms of helping people out it's probably the best one I ever shot! My 4tec 2.0 was fine one day, then the next day I go out to do another speed run, full throttle launch and....the car goes flat out in reverse off the road! Glad it helped!
Had this on brand new xmaxx. Tried the fix but think I ballsed it up some how . Controller constantly flashing red . Tried a reset tried re-binding . Nothing worked Controller just flashing red . Any body have any ideas ???
It didn’t work for me??? It did exactly what urs did with the blinks n the colors but it’s still reversed I think it might be the tamiya esc is reversed
Thanks, it's a tricky job without spending the $40 on the gps module! Glad to be of help. I film these as whilst they don't get huge views they're essential when you need them!
Hey. I have a very random question, I found this HPI Sprint 2 Flux brushless 80A esc for $38 (60 bucks less on sale) but it is meant for a HPI on road car, could a esc that is meant work for on road work on a monster truck?
Yes provided that you don't overload it, it'll work provided you don't fit a mad motor or overgear it. Hope that makes sense, but yes it could work. Wrong gearing or motor will overload it though and fry the esc.
King, glad it helped. It had me stumped and so when I fixed it I thought to video it, it's one of those videos that you'll rarely if ever need, but oh mama is it useful to have it when you do. Still no idea how mine reversed itself in the first place. I was trying to do a speed run with my 4tec 2.0 vxl 80+ capable and.... it reverses when I floor it!
Is it just me or this looks like the old cheat codes for the original Nintendo? Up, Down, Up, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, A, B, A, B, Select, Start .... LOL
JeroneD glad it was of use. I can't believe how many people this has helped. It had me tearing my hair out, one day I turned my car on and it was like what the hell! So I shot this and the rest is history!
@@DriftomaniacsRC I added a brushless motor and yup it went in reverse everywhere (website) said swap any two wires, to me that sounded like a warranty void issue! Lol
Wyatt glad it helped, I filmed this as when it happened to me I was like what the hell? So I figured it might be of use to others and I'm still stunned by how popular it is. It's one of those I shot thinking well if it's happened to me then it might to others

Thank you this was very helpful. Haven't drove my 4tec in a year & powered it on & was going in reverse. Keep making these videos you're awesome and informative
David it was my 4tec doing just that that made me shoot this, I did a speed run on a monday and it was fine, tuesday it'd reversed itself!
Forgot how to do that its been awhile. Needed to do it just now and it worked first try. Super good info and clear to understand. Thank you.
Thanks man! Easier then searching on line and I cant find my manual. So thanks again.
Your super welcome
Thanks man! Never would have guessed that button combo!
Glad I shot this one as it seems to have helped out more people than I ever could've imagined
Everyone online was talking crazy. lol You are awesome
Just for you making g this will sub. Thank you so much your the only video out here explaining so thoroughly.
I would never have figured this out, you are a life saver.

Glad it helped
U have to swap two of the motor leads, it says it in the instructions in the castle systems, if it’s going in reverse swap two leads from motor to esc
Or if u have to swap it this way, it’s just easier for me cus I use upgraded radio n it has reverse option, I had to do it in my M05
yea I would have just swapped motor wires those traxxas radios are crazy!
In the castle sidewinder system I think you can do that but in the Mamba X manual it says that's a big no no and it tells you it can cause irreversible damage to the motor/esc. I'll look it up. early on I fried a mamba x doing just that, I think it's to do with the sensored setup, netcruzer if you're out there do you know?

Works great. Ground-up project car. Carpet racer with a 3-3 Traxxas Nitro on the open fresh paved road trying to get it to 90 miles an hour
U da man!!! Just upgraded my Jato and this was what i needed!
Saved me from pulling my hair out, thank you 😊

Switching the two outer cables from the motor to the ESC fixes this issue also

just tried this and the receiver lost bind. lights blinked exactly as demonstrated. still trying to rebind.
Had this on brand new xmaxx. Tried the fix but think I ballsed it up some how . Controller constantly flashing red . Tried a reset tried re-binding . Nothing worked Controller just flashing red . Any body have any ideas ???
What if you have a latrax controller it only has the set button
Do you know if this will affect the lights, Reverse light showing when going forward or vice versa?
Used this twice now. Thanks
This helped me out man. Thank you!
Perfect exactly what I needed thank you
This happened to me!! Lol on the Tamiya it was running backwards!!! 🤦♂️
It didn’t work for me??? It did exactly what urs did with the blinks n the colors but it’s still reversed I think it might be the tamiya esc is reversed

Excellent step by step
Thank you
Thanks! Worked like a charm!
Thanks, this was really helpfull
Very helpful 👊🏻👊🏻thank you 👍👍
Dude your awesome thanks. It just helped me.
Is there a way to change the steering ?
Yes what’s your issue
Driftomaniacs my steering has also gone the opposite way, turning the wheel back used to turn the car left now it’s the opposite.
How about on a transmitter with only one set button??
Not sure I'm doing wrong but my car goes full throttle when I do the last step
Thanks I was getting kinda triggered how it just kept reversing instead
Thanks to saved me 300 bucks
Is it just me or this looks like the old cheat codes for the original Nintendo?
Up, Down, Up, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, A, B, A, B, Select, Start .... LOL
I need help my remote just doesn’t work now after doing it I have no throttle response at all can anybody help me!?
Never mind it fixed it self lol I turned it off and on 2 times and it works now thank you so much
Thank you so much buddy fixed!!!!!
Worked a treat cheers.
Is there a way to also change the steering as mine seems to be the wrong way round ?
I went ahead and tried this but it reverse all the servos
I would watch the video and try it again it you do it right it just does the throttle, reversing the steering servo is via a different setup
Mine doesn't want to go into the two blinks
what if it is only working backwards
Thanks! My manual doesn’t even have this correct.
it sure did happen to me! so i thank you very very much!
Thank u it was so helpful
