I took it for a few easy test laps this past weekend and pulled the car for some chassis tuning. When I tried to get it fired up again later, the ESC was beeping like it was waiting for Tx setup, so I did that. Nothing.
When I got the car on my bench at home I checked for broken wires, a bad receiver and checked with a few different batteries. What I'm noticing is that the yellow light that normally turns off when the throttle is pressed, doesn't.
So, I know the signal is getting from the radio to the receiver. I know the wires from receiver to ESC are good. I know the wires from the ESC to the motor are good.
I've got a program box on the way to see if maybe some setting got screwed up somehow. Would this still be covered by any kind of warranty? It's got less than 30 minutes on it and is about 8 months since purchase.
Any thoughts or ideas?
Double check that solder connector on your ESC's receiver wires...that 3 joints are easily broken and you need to resolder them again.
The new style club spec use the PLUG type to elimnate problem like that.
