Traxxas TQ radio acting weird?

[DavidB1126]

I wanted to put one of my spare traxxas radios back into the slash. When I turned on the esc and radio everything was fine. But once I turn off the radio the motor goes in reverse at %10. I re-calibrated the esc and did the same thing once I turned off the radio. Maybe it did that since I switched radios? I will take a video today when I get home and I will see if it continues to do the reverse thing. (Btw, this was on the slash stock radio that I had for 7 years now. I will test out my rustler one which is 3 years old to see if it does the same thing or not.)

Don't turn off the radio with the ESC on

Radio on... car on. Car off... radio off.

I got an OE code on my brain code scanner. Ill clear it today and hopefully it doesn't come back. If it does Ill take myself to the repair center.

You should also re-calibrate the throttle - I believe Traxxas failsafe is set when you bind the Rx / Tx. Throttle must be at neutral when binding.
When the receiver has no signal it should go to failsafe, which should bring throttle to neutral.
As it is now, if you ran the car out of radio range, it would go to 10% and keep driving away from you - not safe.
