Electronics problems :(

[rokhound]

Well I was playing with my SCX10 around a small creek no deeper the the wheel and after a while my SCX10 started glitching and only turning and not moving forwards or backwards. A week later I tried again and it worked fine. Now when I turn it not much happens, I can turn the wheels and the lights turn on but the ESC does not beep like it used to. The electronics are all stock rtr ones but I have waterproofed them using plastidip. Have I killed my ESC?

Thats the same thing that heppened to me! same waterproofin and every thing! i think im going to call castle, and see what they have to say.

Do you have another set of electronics to try. Hook your current ESC into a new receiver and see if that helps. If that doesn't work it will help narrow down the issue. Then try to hook a different ESC into your rig and see if everything works.

Also try to rebind and re calibrate your ESC, receiver and radio. Might work. Good luck

check your motor wires , may or may not be it.

I just recenty had to replace the wires and resolder the connections on the motor itself.
They were real brittle and one connection was only on by a few strands of wire. (under the shrink tubing)

also had a bad on/off switch from day two of my rtr , and the lipo cutoff was set, im using niMh.

good luck

I have two scx10's and had this happen to both of mine. mine never seen water or anything and both times it was the wires on the motor itself.

Thank you soo much Turns out one of the wires soldered onto the back of the motor was really loose and I could pull it off
