I have a xl rustler. I recently ran into an issue. I ran it a two days ago for about 5 min or so. When i shut it down everything worked as normal. I went to run it yesterday and everything came on normal with the exception of the motor wont turn over. Esc fires up just fine but im getting nothing at the motor. Any answers or ideas as to what mite be wrong would awesome. Thanks

If you're running a lipo, make sure it is charged. It may have hit low voltage cutoff.

Check your connections between your ESC and the motor, also verify that the status led on the esc is turned on green

Sorry i should have posted type of battery. Im runnin a 7cell 8.4v nimh battery. Low voltage detection was turned off. Im gonna try a diff battery tomorrow but with nimh shouldnt it still turn over just at a slower rate with a low battery?

Yes, if the LVC is off as you stated.

Make sure your receiver wires are in tight and try to re calibrate it. Just try to narrow down the possibilities.

Well resetting the esc actually fixed it. I reprogrammed it and it fixed it. Does anyone know why it needed resetting? The only thing i added was a fan.

I see this all the time. Chances are your throttle trim was changed. This will keep the ESC from initializing. So re-calibrating, it will use current th-trim as zero.

That makes sense. I use the same radio for my revo and I usually have to adjust the throttle trim on it. I guess I can fix the prob with goifn with the newer 2.4 tq series radio.
