But, I have one problem I have yet to figure out. Occasionally the car will lose all power to the rear wheels momentarily, about 2-3 seconds, then it comes back. I can still turn the wheels but there is 0 throttle response for those couple seconds. This usually happens when landing hard after some doubles, but it also happened on smaller bumps. I doubled checked all the electrical connections as I thought something was being knocked loose on the landings, but found nothing wrong. I am using all the stock electronics that came with the RTR kit. Any ideas what could be causing this?
Thanks.
Hey guys! Was browsing the forum and kinda chuckled when I saw this. I just bought my SC10 about a month ago, and had the exact same problem with it right out of the box. After buying it, I got home, took it out of the box, charged the battery and within 5 minutes of playing with it I started having the exact same problem that you're talking about. But it didn't even have to be a big jump or anything. It would just cut out whenever it felt like it. I was playing with it on the street right in front of my house. I actually took it back to where I bought it from the very next day. ( Hobbytown USA). They tried a new radio, that didn't work. They tried a new receiver, and that didn't work either. So they put a new esc in it and that didn't work. They tried many different combinations of things to try and get it work, but it just kept having the same issue. The only thing they didn't try was putting a new motor in it. They actually just wound up giving me a whole new boxed up truck. That was about a month ago and I haven't had a single issue with it, with the exception of the normal wear and tear and abuse that we put these things through. I know this probably doesn't help you much, but at least it lets you know that you're not the only one having that type of issue. By the way, mine is the 2wd version. And it was RTR. Hope that helps shed a little light on the subject. Good luck, hope you get it figured out.
