MGM Programming problems

Incidentally, one other thing I noticed is that to get mine to recognize full throttle, full brake, and neutral, I have to set the throttle subtrim to somewhere between 15 and 25 (where, exactly, seems to be random, depending on the time I turn it on), and the EPA on brake to 10 (out of 100). I am able to leave the throttle EPA at 100. I'm running a Nomadio React, have 4 other vehicles on the same radio and have never had a similar problem. Is this normal?

Your radio might be the one to blame. I just programmed my MGM with a JR and a Spektrum and the controller worked the same as it did with my Airtronics.

I thought of that. For kicks, I tried using the Duratrax radio that came with my Vendetta, with similar results.

I thought my 8012 was a gonner when it did that, but just by doing the programming it was fixed. Did you try reprogramming the controller with the duratrax radio?

I thought I had but I'll try again tonight.
