So I just bought this truck and received it in the mail last night. I charged up 2 7 cell batteries plugged it all in, picked it up in the shop, made sure steering worked and throttle/brake/reverse, all was good. Took it outside and put it on the ground. Hit the throttle and it goes for a split second then no throttle response for about 5 seconds (the esc was flashing for the 5 seconds, I think its the same pattern as when it first starts up). It did this every time. I took the truck inside, put the stock brushed motors and esc in and everything works great so I know its not the servos or radio.

Anyone have any insight into how to fix this? Im going to try to put the novak stuff back in tonight and see what exactly the esc flashes.

Thanks in advance
