Flysky GT5 issue

[ScubaSteve69386]

I have a Flysky GT5 and having an issue. When I power up the throttle won't work until I turn the throttle trim down to around 30, I am turning it down with the throttle trim button on the side of transmitter. Then I hear a beep and throttle works fine. I don't know if I got one of the settings messed up by accident, it has been working fine. But it's getting old doing this every time I want to crawl.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

First thought is to make sure everything on the controller is where it’s supposed to be. Then recalibrate your ESC and TX. Check throttle settings, abs if equipped and throttle trim

Was something stupid that I must have changed by accident. Started going thru your suggested checklist and found the issue. Thanks!

So easy to oops now and then.
Enjoy!

What was the issue? I’m about to start converting all of my stuff over to FS.

Not OP, but I’m guessing the ESC wasn’t happy with the throttle not being neutral during power-on. Most ESCs won’t initialize the throttle if they aren’t near neutral for safety, so the car doesn’t take off unintentionally.
