Hmmm... so it's the controller? meaning when my Propo Special arrives that should take care of the slow reverse speed at least?

Good to know that the noise is normal.

BTW Doughboy, you didn't mention if the reverse wiggle is normal or not. Namuna thought it might be due to my gunning the control but it isn't. For one thing, like I said the car already goes really slow when reversing and even when I use partial throttle so it goes even slower, it still turns side to side. It looks as if I'm turning the Tx wheel left, right, left, right constantly but I'm not even touching the wheel. And for some reason, it only does it in reverse.

I tried it both on carpet and on linoleum and it does it on both, no matter where I reverse or at what speed. Wondering if it might have something to do with the instability of the RX-7 type-R's caster front wheels. It pretty much makes it futile to reverse anymore than 5-6 inches 'cuz more than that and the car could be facing ANY direction by then.

The little that I've seen of Digi q vids have never shown this problem, Wonder if anyone else with a type-r RX-7 could comment on this?
