The LED on it turns green like it should when using it, but now it only has brake and reverse. Not sure what to do next. The LHS told me it could be the AVC reciver or because I removed all the tamiya plugs and soldered a better battery plug and directly to the motor. I used that reciver on 2 other cars with no problems. The others were brushless. I checked voltage at motor ends. Full throttle went to about 11v then back down to about 6v. Brake about 6v and reverse about 3v. Anyone have this problem?
Changing plugs would not cause these problems. I’m not familiar with the AVC receiver but I’m guessing it’s probably the culprit. To be honest you don’t need traction control. Between my son and myself we own 2 dozen RC cars, 8 of which we race.. none use such a feature.
