ICS programmer
I am curious if the ICS programmer for the MR03 cars is a good invsetment or a waste of money? Is it a benefit to racing? And whats the right one to buy?

Hel* yeah!
I use it to program MR-02, MR-03, MR-03VE, MF-015, MA-015 and the buggy.
It can make a huge difference to a car if you do the right things.
I got a cheap one and it still works...
I know you can buy a really expensive one from Kyosho.
You can buy the Bluetooth one that can work with your phone.
Or the cheap one I got.
They all do basically the same and you might only need it that one or two nights to get your car "Perfect".
Think I paid something like $15 + shipping for it.
But then again, your car might be setup "perfect" from factory, but that you won't know until you check.
But I think ICS is one of those things that is great to have around a track. Maybe not just for you, but for a struggling friend who just needs to get a bit less waiting time to get his MR-03 into reverse.
But not all at your track needs one.

It is a very useful tool to have. If one person you race with has it then you may not need your own though. There are also several plans to make your own for only a few dollars. In some extreme cases it can make all the difference, such as when you install MR03VE electronics into an AWD car. A few setting changes massively improve the steering, it is a must have.

Tom, I have one, you're welcome to use it at the race if needed. I haven't really messed with it, maybe I should

yep no problem, I'll have the PN one with me and I'll download the app for the VE for you and you can use it at the race. See you in 2 weeks.

For me it is absolutely essential.
They basically do the same, so buy the one you like (But it is real nice to be able to program the car with your phone at the track with the bluetooth programmer). Less stuff to pack

I have the one that plugs into the KO Eurus but I can not find a way to speed up the reverse on my MR03???? I have 5 MR03's and this one is the only one that I am having problems with. I think that I have tried every adjustment with no luck. Can anyone tell me what setting changes the reverse time. Mine is taking about three seconds to go into reverse. Thanks MK

Mike,
Did you try defaulting the car back to factory first?
