|  Wraith esc problem
Hi, got a Wraith since yesterday after waiting almost 9 weeks for delivery. So you guess I was pretty happy - till it was time for the first testride...... Car was stuttering and at full throttle the car did nothing. Full brake the same. I binded the receiver again and tried several times to readjust the esc following the instructions. That was the first problem. The esc started up beeped and the red led flashed. That`s all it did. I put in a Novak esc and the truck ran like it should. Back in the Axial esc. Nothing. Now no matter wha I do or try all the esc does is flashing the red led. I can`t even drive the car in stutter mode anymore. Is there something I can try yet or is the esc shot and a warranty case? Thanks O.J. |

Sounds like warranty to me. I have had a Castle sidewinder do the same thing in the past and they sent me one out. That was Castle though and even though they make it you will have to call Axial to get warranty. I am still waiting on stuff from Axial that they said they would warranty and it has been well over a month since I talk to them about it. They told me the stuff would be shipped first thing as soon as they got them in and off of backorder. Needless to say stuff for the Wraith has been on backorder since it came out so I figure I will be waiting a while.

NEWB ALERT..  I am trying to help a friend with this very issue... I read all the instructions, but I cant seem to find the "on/off" for the “LiPo Cut-Off" switch. “LiPo Cut-Off set to “ON” from the factory” but I think his is in "off" position.

there is no "switch". you will have to have a castle link and hook the esc up to the computer to access the lipo cutoff.
