I try to setup my esc but they sucks. The esc always change the reverse steering from reverse to normal back and forth. I had follow the instruction sheet from Mini X, it doesn't help. I use KO EX1 Mars. Anybody could help?
Thank you.

sorry guys, i already solve the problem. My esc just work well now. Now, i'm waiting for bearings for the diff and wheels. I put my x-speed's motor cap because i think the hole stock's motor cap is too big and some No Friction oil added. A drop of Trinity comm drops helps much to run faster.

you need the big hole in the motor bell (cap, end...whatever) any ways it gives the motor shaft some slack if the chassic flexes. if you dont have that wide hole, when the chassis bends the shaft will move with it and bind against the small hole. if you dont like te big hole you gotta put a bearing in it or somethin that wont stop the shaft when in rubs it. if not the motor can over heat and you will see your car slow down when it hits a bump or goes into a hard turn. i did that b4 and any time i turn aggresively the wheels would lock up cause the shaft would stop spinnin. i use a ball bearing in it now and i have a top deck on the car to prevent any flex.

that is just my experience, someone please correct me if i am wrong, i dont want to give ya false info

of course if you are not using the stock motor with the shaft that goes all the way thru than what i posted earlier means nothin to you ;P

Thanks for the infos.
But if u already use the upper-deck (top deck, whatever..) it should be no need more bigger hole at the motor bell, shouldn't it? But the information that the big hole bell is very helpful for me.
