Losi Xcelorin that won't go into reverse

[Cassp0nk]

Ok, I've just built my car with an xcelorin 6.5 setup. It has the latest firmware flashed and I've set it up to have reverse turned on. I've also calibrated successfully.

However, the car won't reverse? Now I haven't take it off my test bench and put it on its wheels yet, so could that be a factor (electrics not fastened down yet...)

Otherwise, anyone have a clue whats wrong?

Jackwood on here bought a unit from the same shop at a similar time and he reports that his won't reverse with the 1.28 firmware but would when he reverted to the previous one. He has however recently reported it glitching with reverse on the older firmware now too.

I'm using driving the ESC with a spectrum dx3r at 3.3 framerate. I've even tried reveresing the channel on the transmitter and pushing to reverse accelerates as expected, but pulling the trigger doesn't engage reverse.

Is the Xcelorin really as crap as I was warned?
