Default B4.1 RTR Speedo / Handset Issues RESOLVED

Bit of an odd one this so would love some input!

My son did 4 heats with his new car today and also practiced yesterday (new car) all working fine. 1 minute into his final today the speedo stopped working normally .

The conclusion: The throttle appears to have lost its neutral position, almost hunting. The speedo is non adjustable and only the trim can be altered on the wheel throttle. No buttons have been changed on the controller as all was working fine .

With the trim at full 'forwards' position the speedo still gives slight reverse, if you throttle forwards it goes, but as soon as you let off it give full brakes and after 2 seconds reverses slowly.

When you turn the car on the speedo beeps and flashes green - steering works straight away. Only after maybe 40 seconds (or so...) will the forward and reverse work - of course the first thing to kick in is the reverse! .

Tried recalibrating the handset with the car and still no joy .

Mark Knight (MK Racing) had not seen this before and nothing else can be adjusted on either module - before I throw a hissy fit does anyone have any idea's?.

I was thinking a RTR for Adam would be good to start with but I'm thinking I should have bit the bullet and gone for the full spec as its all adjustable.

I'm confised
