I have recently bought a Sprint 2 Flux and took it out for its first run today. The acceleration didn't seem to be working properly. I could not hold a steady speed the acceleration would only work for about a metre and then cut out. Or sometimes nothing happened at all when I pulled the trigger on the controller. I am fairly new to the R/C hobby and am not really sure what I am doing. Could anyone advise me on what the problem is and how to fix it. Thanks in advance for any advice.

What are you running for batteries? I wonder if the lipo cutoff is being triggered.

No I don't think so, I am just using the batteries that came with the car

check your motor to esc connections and your esc to rx connections and make sure you have fresh batteries in the radio

The stock 7 cell nimh batteries have that jittery and stalling problem with the brushless system, because there is not enough power being supplied through the battery. I would just recommend buying a 2s lipo pack from hobbypartz, just be careful and make sure it will fit in your sprint 2 flux battery holder. You will also need a charger i have a Thunder TC6 and it works great!
