Has anyone had issues in regards to brakes and reverse with their MGM controllers? if not what firmware are you running and what was the setup? Mine are going straight from brake to reverse without actually having a controlled stop. ie when you push the lever forward it will go into reverse instead of brake. And when i have it set to no freewheel it will free wheel anyway

Not dure about that problem, but when i ran my 28025 there were no brakes at all, id press reverse and it would just freewheel to a stop. I'm using the newest firmware. I'll probably have another play around with it when it gets back and see if i can figure out whats going on. Maybe you could try resetting the controller settings back to default, and then changing the settings to what you want? Kind of resetting the controller.

So im having a hard time finding a replacement pin for the cvd. I was going to use a drill bit, but then found out that the shank, the end bit, is not hardened steel. Do you guys think that it will hold up if it is just plain old steel, not hardened steel?

Send Bill at RCAlloys an email and ask him how much for some spare pins. He makes the dogbones and can sell you a few I am sure. That way you have the exact replacement in case you run into this again donw the road.

I have seen somewhere a nice little tool to remove and add those pins on. I just can't find where. I din't know if it was in a magazine or in the web. I'll keep looking and send you the info once I find it. I'm sure someone has seen it as well.

Edit: I found it. Here is the article: http://www.rc-car.com/ME2/dirmod.asp...C973108AAB114D.

Ahh yes, i saw that little walk through, thanks Lutach. But i have already got the pin out, trouble is the pin that i have, (a standard 3x16mm pin out of a dogbone) just slips straight through the cvd , i think ill just use a drill bit and see what happens
