I just received my new sc10rs and ran it straight from the box with no problems. The car seemed to slow so I recharged the battery thinking that was the problem. On the second run the car did the same which seemed to slow and cut in and out only reaching about half speed. If anyone could please help that would be great.

try to go through the recalibration process in the manual.

Tried that worked for a bit but then did it again

What type of battery, is it a lipo or a nimh? How long did it run before cutting in and out, after charging the battery? If it was more than say 15 minutes or so with a lipo battery that is likely proper operation. It is important to not over discharge a lipo.

Hows the slipper clutch? Pinion mesh? Wheels tight? Everything spins easily? You have to go thru the car since RTR QC is just not the greatest....

Or are you thinking its a motor/ESC/battery problem?

Check the gear mesh, I burnt out my stock motor in 20 minutes bc the mesh was way too tight

Jettman83

Not the mesh. It's a lipo charged it the right amout but it seems like it's an electronic part, I charge the batter put it in and it only runs like half speed and sometimes it will run normal but it randomly so I have no clue.

the esc could have gone. the stock associated escs aren't amazing.

Could be lvc. Not sure where you live, but lithium batteries don't like cold weather.

Jettman83

It seems like once I charge it and plug it in it (without turning on) for certain amount of time it either wants to run or it doesn't

What do you mean When it isn't on it wants to run?

Jettman83

It seems like even when the battery is charged and everything is right it's locked slower

if the recalibration helped,but didn't last, then you could have a faulty radio. try the esc lead on the steering channel.

A friends kid got one today and we had a similar issue. After recalibrating and tweaking everything several times, we found the motor connector was loose. Pulled back the plastic/rubber tubing, crimped the female end of the connector, reconnected and bam, problem solved. The thing was literally falling disconnected.

On the transmitter the "bind" button flashes green. Tried rebinding but still does it. I don't know much but could that be a problem
