I have tried three other motors and different sensor cables to no effect. I have un soldered and resoldered the wires from the battery to the speedo and from the speedo to the motor,no change!
Does any one know what is wrong!
It came off the track from an eventless run and when I went back out this happened.
My dad and I are having the same issue. I purchased a RS ESC for my 1/10 WGT and download the 212 software. I ran the car the weekend before last with a brand new out of the box 13.5 motor for 3 practice runs, 3 qualifiers and the main. Everything worked awesome, when I went back to the track to practice the next week after not touching the car since the week before it started having issues. The car will not move unless you give the car a push, once it is moving it is fine. We tried resetting the ESC, reinstalled the software, I tried 4 new sensor wires and we even put a new sensor in the motor and after all that it still wouldn't work. I placed a new motor in the car and it works fine with the same ESC and setup. My dad also downloaded the 212 software to his RS ESC and his motor is doing the same thing. We had two different brands of motor in our cars. His car, motor and ESC worked fine until he downloaded the software.
Is it something in the software or settings that is causing this issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have it set at 30. On this new Ballistic they have 15-30-45 instead of - N +. I have not touched the timing of this motor. I bought it and stuck it in. I have 2 RS's programmed exactly the same and one wont run the ballistic and the other will.

when you are have issues with the car at start up check the sensors by looking at esc leds 5,6,7 two of them will be lite and they will flicker (dimly) when rotating the drivetrain

I have not received an answer to the problem as of this date. My suggestion is to call tech support and talk to them.

There are hundreds (if not thousands) of racers using 212 without this problem so I would venture to say it is a hardware problem rather than a software problem.

You did not mention that you had reset your radios to the new software. Could be it.

Sounds like what happened to me when I upgraded to 212. Reset my Eurus and all was good.

When you wire your stuff up I would wire your life pac through the switch then the bec from the esc will regulate the power to the reciever. A life pac after time will increse in voltage and in my experiance (2 esc's not working any more of my own and 5 others that I know of just at my track all running life pacs pluged in to the reciever) will ruin the esc (in my opinion ) again this is just my opinion of what's happening with the life pacs I'm sure other people are using them with no problems but give it time you'll see
