Help me setting up the Tazer Brushless ESC (Ruckus 4WD)

[Carrera124]

Hi, I bought a new Ruckus 4WD Brushless AVC. But it drove rather slow forwards, and fast backwards. Throttle trim and AVC was both set to zero, so I thought I had to re-calibrate the users manual:

1. Power off the ESC.

Done.

2. Ensure your transmitter is powered on, the throttle is not reversed,
the throttle trim is neutral and the throttle travel range is at 100%.
Disable any special functions such as ABS, etc.

Done.

3. Press the SET button while powering on the ESC. Release the button
as soon as the green LED starts to flash.

I do, but the green LED continues flashing after I release the SET button. It stops if I press the set button again. Is that correct?

4. Calibrate the throttle points by pressing the SET button once after
each step.
• Neutral point (1 flash)—leave the throttle at rest, untouched
• Full throttle (2 flashes)—pull the throttle fully back
• Full brakes/reverse (3 flashes)—push the throttle fully forward

I don't understand, what is the correct sequence in detail?
Does the 1-2-3 flash-thing indicate the beginning of each phase, or does it indicate the end of each phase?

5. The motor will run 3 seconds after the last step is completed.

Don't understand. Does that mean, the motor will run for a short period by itself at the end of the 3rd phase? If this should be thr case, it doesn't.
Or does it mean, the motor will be ready for operation after 3 seconds have passed?

Any hints recommended, please help.

I have no idea about the procedure, but if it runs fast backward and slow forward, you could switch any 2 of the 3 wires and toggle the reverse switch on the TX?

I guess this would work with a brushed motor, but not with a brushless one?

Sure it will, if you swap any two of the three phases, it rotates the other way!

I found a great video tutorial at Youtube, maybe it helps other people, too:
