Hello,
I just picked up a new 2018 Kraton. It’s my first hobby grade RC car. I actually bought it for my son though... I’ve installed two 7600 mah 2S batteries in it. Since it’s for my son, I want to limit the speed using the EPA settings. For forward throttle, I am able to limit the speed just fine. For reverse, I am only able to limit the speed a little bit. Maybe a 20 – 30% reduction. When I perform the adjustment for the reverse limit, I am able to adjust the speed significantly. However when I go to use the car, the car will not go into reverse. When this happens I do see the ESC red light turn on, so it is getting the signal, but besides that nothing else happens. No motor sound or anything. So I then have to re-adjust the limit setting to make it higher so that the car will still go into reverse. But doing this does not get me the slow reverse speed that I want. So the reverse speed of the car ends up being much faster than the forward speed.
Is the issue I am describing expected behavior?
Also, my other question is about trying to go into reverse after moving forward, I have to double-tap the reverse throttle to get it to move. I read another post that seems to suggest this is expected behavior though (i.e. you have to double-tap). Is that true?
Note that I went through all of the Throttle Setup steps, tried adjusting trim, etc.
