    Lightbulb Traxxas Spartan - Upgrading the Motor and ESC

    Hello everyone.

    I updated my Traxxas Spartan.
    Leopard 4082 motor and Seaking 180 ESC.
    But now I can't go back? It is only possible to go straight head.
    What's wrong, do you have an idea?


    Thank you
    BBO

    Enable reverse in the SK180 ESC. You can do that with either a program card or with the transmitter according to the SeaKing manual. Be sure to limit your reverse power to very very low, just enough to back up the boat. Too much reverse power can destroy the flexshaft.

    Learn to go forward only. You will kill your shafts rather quickly.
    It's a setting in the ESC and you can enable reverse.
    Get some shafts on order already.
