Bought the out tonite and did 2 mins of practice, went back to my chair and disconected the battery from the car. Put that battery on charge and put another battery in the car. Adjusted my pinion mesh and plugged battery back in. Turned on RX and turned on the car to check the mesh I have no throttle and the ESC keeps flashing at me. Also has that burnt smell.
A of plugged the in and checked everything was , smell got worse and it wont calibrate to the radio, still no throttle but steering working fine.
Any ideas?

had a similar problem the other week at the Gold Coast, took the car out in the first race every thing was sweet run in some good lap times then when the second race come around absolutely nothing.
Both end leds were lit, went through the process of rebinding every thing was ok. The following week tried every thing again ,the same. in the end with a few calls to greg we resolved the matter the motor was the problem although when i pulled it down it was still in pristine condition inside the only thing that i could think of it has taken a hit to the end bell and damaged the sensors.
But yes if the esc is going through the setup ok its the motor.
Don't worry my Tekin has nearly been over the back fence a few times
but stuck with it sorted out all the transmitter issues (except for brakes. I can see when all the updates are ready to go that the 10.5 will be an absolute rocket.
Hope this helps
Steven.
