I read through the documentation and programming hasn't been a problem. I find the procedure to be very straight forward, but I am having problems.
First, I programmed it for car mode with reverse. This should have been the default profile anyway. When I'm moving at greater than 5 mph or so and I hit the brakes, the brakes are applied as they should be. If I pump the brakes, it goes straight into reverse on the second hit of the brakes. When I am moving at a slow speed, just rolling, and I hit the brakes, it goes directly into reverse. What's up with this? Did I miss something in the programming?

I actually had this same problem when I was doing speed runs with my Rustler (and was using the MGM). For this reason, I never have reverse enabled on the MGM. Besides, running over to the truck never hurt :).

Not that I just want to go around doing wheelies or anything, but my Muggy used to wheelie on demand. I can't get it to lift the front tires now. Acceleration is VERY sluggish. I set the delay time to its minimum and it still feels very sluggish to me.

How do you have the cutoff set? If you have it set on hard cutoff (or motor cut, or whatever it's called), it could be that the battery's voltage is sagging, causing the LVC to kick in. The MM doesn't use a hard cutoff, but a soft cutoff (decreases motor RPM). If you set the MGM to a soft cutoff (motor RPM limit, or whatever it's called), that might fix it. You might also want to try playing around with the acceleration settings.

I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks.

I think it's too soon to tell if you got a bad controller. Try some of these things, and then we can move on from there.
