Hi guys, new to the forum, getting back into r/c after a 15-20 year hiatus.

Bought a Losi 22 the other day, finished assembly and decided ti make a test run...

I have a Novak pro sc esc and a Ballistic 8.5t motor.

At first, all was good, greatly impressed with the power. But after a few seconds, it got all jerky and would not take throttle. I'd have to bump the car with my toe, move it a little and it woulg go OK. Once I stopped, it was dead in the water again.

Any ideas?

My lhs is closed this time of day, and i was hoping to attend my first race after work tomorrow.


ETA: steering servo still works fine even when dead.

I occasionally get a blinking blue and green status led, which is a possible shut down due to a locked rotor ....
