Default Whats my problem?

I was crawling this afternoon. Got almost to the top of out trail and the truck started glitching. kind of bouncing forward on its own. Ran fine for about 10 minutes prior. We stopped for a photo op. When I turned the truck back on, it kept doing it. To the point of out of control. I swapped out the battery. Exact same thing.
Radio batteries are new
Truck batteries were fully charged
This is an all stock Wraith
*I am new to electric cars

any ideas?

Well the only thing that could be wrong is you lost connection to your car from your remote, or it can be that one of your electronics are coming loose! So check that, you can also just call Axial and they will fix it! Its under warranty!

I was thinking the same. Just happened about an hour ago and it's freezing in my garage.
Almost seemed like a binding issue. NOT looking forward to opening up the electrics box

This is a used rig and somewhat frankensteined together. Ran good for the last 2 days though. Just put new gears on this morning.

I had what sounds to be the same issue. Installed a BEC and the issue was fixed.

If your running a brushed motor, you might want try wrapping the motor leads around each other. I read on some post to do that. It worked on my super.

I'll try that today^^^

Right before bed I tried a Spektrum receiver I had. Connections were extremely tight. I had to take needle nose to remove. I must have squezzed something just right because when I reinstalled into the Axial receiver, the glitch seemed to have stopped. I brught it with me to work today to mess with.

Problem was not fixed. Did same thing after about 10 minutes.

Got the Spektrum setup in it now. Appears to have been a bad Axial receiver. All working well....for now.

*Axial radio for sale! cheap

Are you using the stock Tamiya connector? I had the same problem, I Love Deans connectors, and haven't had any problems since i changed!

External regulator seems to be the universal fix all for some reason.
These rigs are only running one stinking servo.

Glad you got it fixed
