Set the brake to 100% i think it defaults at 50% on the spektrum. And using a receiver pack to do the initial set-up makes it go first try.

01:53 AM

Insulate the bullet connectors befor going any farther. My best guess is that they touched and got some mosfets good 'n hot.

The paperwork covers programming through your transmitter. It works fine through my 3 series Spektrum.

To enter programming mode:
Turn transmitter on.
Set throttle & reverse (brake) throw to 100% if they aren't already. Brake % is switch E on your transmitter.
Connect car batteries.
Pull trigger full throttle forward and hold.
Switch MGM on.
Wait 10 seconds for 3 beeps.
Hold full reverse.
Wait for single beep.
Release throtthe.
Wait for two beeps.

You have calibrated your throttle throw and are now in programming mode.
If it were my choice I would switch the MGM off now to leave program mode and try again.

Program instructions are in your MGM paperwork but generally once in program mode:

Pull full throttle forward to bypass any parameter you do not wish to program.

Pull full reverse to progress through values within a parameter.
Full throttle then saves the selected value and moves to the next parameter.

Turn power switch off to exit program mode once your changes are saved.

As a bare minimum read the chart on page 6 of your MGM documentation.

CLB,BdeBde,

Thanks for the help. Like I said, I've tried to get into programming mode. I'll try again with the stock receiver and see if it let's me in first.

Thanks,

Mark

Back to thoses motor/controller bullet connections. With the bullet connectors hooked up do you still have bare metal exposed? If so you need to do something about that, or you are asking for another issue. If you had smoke comming out of the controller, then you need to stop, and get that controller checked out before going any further. You could cause even more problems with yoru motors and batteries. At least with the photos from what we can tell it is hooked up correctly, and the manufacturer should cover the problem and replace it. If you go any further you may end up losing out all together. Good luck with that.

An update.... I installed the stock receiver and it gave me the same response....

That was until I tried what happened to member GYN77. He had the same problem until he pushed lever forward instead of backwards. It now allows me to enter programming mode.

Jerry, I will cover those up as soon as I know it works. The wires are definitely separated for now and I would never run it that way, I just want to make sure I don't have to disconnect the unit to send it back in.

I will check up on how to enter each mode using the transmitter.

I got through the programming stage. It took me several attempts but I finally got through it.

After the programming, I shut everything off and went back into the programming mode so I could change the first parameter to automatic tuning as per Mike but when I tried to use it later, it shuddered and stopped.

No more beeps, no more nothing.

I overnighted it back to Mike to let him look at it. So far, it's not looking good.
