Is this step even necessary for electric helis? I thought it would only be needed for nitro operation for 3gx gov setup? The 3gx mounted on my 250 seems to be doing just fine even though I never went through with this step during setup.

Hey.

Yes it is. Since V2 the 3GX needs to know the throttle travel direction to mix in the correct tail pre-compensation commands to counteract torque changes on the fuselage with collective/throttle inputs.
