Ok.. That didn’t work!..

Just and FYI… Gentlemen..

I'm know I'm new to this forum (IE) “the newbie!!” But I'm not necessarily new to RC concept!. It just fricken kills me that I can build this machine from 100 different parts / scratch without any instructions but at the same time I can’t get a simple controller to function! These are the steps I tried prior to posting my total incompetence / contacting you the team for help!..

(Yes I’ve done / lets just cover the basics)
I’ve Turned my radio on (Set your throttle and brake to 100%)
and yes I’ve plugged in the BEC to my receiver first and make sure it is working the servos (Just to see if you are getting power). The controller switch must be off. I’ve then Plugged in my batteries into the controller. Hold full throttle and turn the switch on. Keep holding until you here 3 beeps and right after that grab full brake. I’ve done that which takes me to program mode, then I’ve shut everything down, hooked up all necessary wires and turned it back on and got to programming on my laptop.

Here are my current settings
Car <=I=> (forward and backwards)
Brake / deceleration Light2 / 0.26s
Acceleration 0.26s
Timing automat
behavior when battery voltage is low going down reduce RPM
Battery type 6 Li-pol
Range of the natural zone 3%
Automatic correction of neutral No
Freewheel NO
Automatic brake in neutral light 2.

These are my current setting. Then I hit write to Data and then turn everything off and unplug. Then when I plug it back on and turn it on.. It just blinks and beeps like it telling me I need to reprogram it??

I've even shut in down and restarted it, hold it wide open for 10 sec it beeps three time and I continue to hold in 5sec and beeps 4 times and move it too brake for one beep. This procedure (should reset all settings) same issue accurse..

Here are my radio settings..
Well I've got the Spektrum DX 3.0 2.4Ghz.

I pulled the out my receiver from a working truck (to ensure it wasn't the problem) I've got the following settings on my DX3.0
TDB (throttle) 100%
ST (steering) 100%
ST L/F RB (steering left & right) 100%
ST (steering) Norm
BRK (Brake) 100%

With the above said! I just got off the phone (IE) spent the last two hours with some great gentlemen who put there own sleep and wellbeing aside to help me overcome my issues. Extremely (valiant effort on there parts!) . But unfortunately we were just unable to get this thing going!.. It breaks my heart (kills me) but I have no choice but to send the controller to back to manufacture for review in latter today! I’ll probably just end up buying another controller or waiting for the infamous MMM form Mike as soon as they are available?. (Don’t know yet)!

I just wanted to take the time and thank everyone!, who took the time out of their busy lives to forwarded over (great) suggestions and comments!!.. You guy truly ROCK!!!.. Thank you ALL sooooo much for your time!!!

It’s times like this I feel extremely fortunate to part of your team and I thank you all for that privilege and honor!..

Have a great one Gentlemen!.. I’ll update the team once I received back my controller from MGM.. or purchase a replacement!.. I’ll post Vids of it first beating too..

Thank again for everything!..

Shaun. AKA (the Newbie)..

p.s.
I'm going to bed!.. It’s been a long day!..
