You need to set tyhe neutral first with the tx srttings set to middle.

Re: robbe mc111b
It's not normal. I had one of those or similar long ago.
It sounds like you got the neutral set up right but the 'high' needs ajusting. Or: you have set it up backward and need to flipt the trhttle direction of your transmitter.
The settings to the best of my memories and with help from your picture:
0. put your car up so the wheels can run free
1. with a tiny screwdriver turn all 3 potentiometers to their stop (counterclockwise)
2. put your throttle trim to zero and leave the trigger/throttle in neutral
3. turn the middle potentiometer ('neutral') clockwise till the wheels start spinning fwd and the green led comes on
4. now slowly go back counter-clockwise till the green led goes off
5. disconnect one or both moterleads
6. trigger/throttle to topspeed
7. slowly turn the first potentiometer ('high') clockwise to find the spot where the green led turns red
9. from that point give it a tad more; just a few degrees, clockwise
10. let the throtle go and verify if the neutral is still ok: led=Off (adjust if needed)
11. give a little throttle= led turns green
(If you don't see a green led you got it setup backwards and need to switch the moterleads and flip the throttle setting on your transmitter.
12. full throttle: led turns red
13. time to set up the reverse: my memory is vague on this. Either the 'back' potentiometer sets the timedelay between forward and reverse or it sets your topspeed for reverse. just connect the moterleads again , pull the throttle full reverse and turn the 'back' potnetiometer to see if it affects the s topspeed for reverse

Re: robbe mc111b
Great!
Glad I could help
Don't forget those were on the market when batteries were only 1200mah. If you use modern packs with double , triple or more run-time make sure to regularly check the ESC heatsink and take a break when it starts getting really hot.
(I destroyed mine trying to make it run for 8, or was it 5, minutes back in the days at our clubraces)
