I had similar issues with my sons rustler Vxl. Opened aTt with traxxas. They send me a glitch buster. Problems resolved.

Sounds like a esc issue if it's new I'd contact traxxas for a replacement

You could be hitting thermal shutdown.

What is a glitch buster? Sorry man I didn't know how to check my status thank you for your time

ericG30

Yea I think I'm gonna have to just doesn't make sense that it's like this straight from the box. Thx for time man I'm sorry I forgot to check for replys

ericG30

I don't think so ive only had the car a week and it happened first time I drove it straight out of the box and it ran less than five mins

Are you using the battery that came with it or a lipo? Esc might be set up for lipo and if your running a NiMH you hitting the low voltage cutoff.

ericG30

Yea still running the nickel battery I've checked the setting and it's correct. I have lipos ordered I'm hoping maybe it's just a battery issue

ericG30

I mean unless I'm completely retarded ha Ivery read the manual on the setting for nickel battery and lipos it also came set to run that battery says the light should be solid red on the esc

Keep us posted. Curious to see what it is.. so light on esc is red ? Since ur using nimh? Make sure u set the lipo cutoff when u get ur lipos.. green light on esc

Yeah, if its brand new, take it back for warranty.

ericG30

I'll def let yall know I'm going to contact traxxas tmrw. YES light is Def red YES I'm using NiMH battery

ericG30

So I got in touch w traxxas today he sending me a glitch buster like one of the other members mentioned he said basically the nimh battery isn't able to supply the power the car is demanding so it's sending false nominals like the battery is dead therefore I lose response. Guess we will see I've got new batteries on the way also
