[size=16px]Hi everyone I'm having issue here with my vxl-3s the ESC thinks that the switch is stuck on I thought maybe it it switch problems so I change the switch out myself and the problems still there.[/size]
[size=16px]I have contacted traxxas only thing they told me is to buy new one.[/size]
[size=16px]I've do some research and haven't really find posts that similar problems most I've people issue is switch and replaced that and everything buck to work but in my case it wasn't the problem I guess.[/size]
[size=16px]so what else could it be?[/size]
[size=16px]if turn it on the ESC would work for few seconds and it thinks that switch I been pressed and do it's own thing like lipo cut off disable or sometime it would under into driving mode or recalibration mode.[/size]

I may be able to help you if you explain this to me more in detail. I have the same motor and esc and am having electrical problems with it, if you want to see my post.

so when I turn onture ESC everything works fine for about few seconds and then it would stop working and the noise from motor would happen which indicates mode change between lipo/nimh battery
another time when I turn on ESC soon I let of the button it and feel it click but ESC still seeing/thinking that switch is still pressed so it would entered driving modes
or it would turn on and work for few seconds and turn off on it's own.
thanks

What year is this made in? Is it old and breaking down? Has dirt had a chance to get in there? Just to clarify, the on button will stay down when you press it?

Just so you know, I might be selling my esc, which is in new condition as a second option and I can probably give you a deal on it.

it is the vxl-3s esc

2020 model year
and the button is seem to work good physically and I changed to different one anyways and still have same problem
thanks
