| Why is my wraith doing this?
It's all built up followed the instructions to a t and now all the thing does is go back and forth when accelerating or just like skitters across the floor there's really no forward movement or anything. The servo works fine the engine and esc are Brand new. I honestly don't know what's wrong Current builds Axial scx10:2 Traxxas rustler Axial wraith |

I haven't fooled with these ESCs but it sounds like some cogging or communication issue. Try swapping the two outside leads of the motor and ESC first.

Did you accidentally purchase a crab instead of a Wraith?

Make sure that the wires line up, a to a, b to b and c to c..if using a sensor wire do not getcthem out of order or it will do what you describe. Also make sure the sensor wire is plugged in properly and no pins are bent or damaged

Sounds like what happend to me when i built my wraith spawn i put one of the diff gears in backwards so the front was moving forward but the back was moving backwards so they were fighting each other. so i just skiddered not moving forward so i would check them. i think they have to opposite of each other so if you have one on the right side (looking at it from behind) the other has to be on the left side (the interal gears.

also may pull it off and thread it not on the shaft to make sure its going down far enough, just a checker. if it does try another pinion or another grub screw. | |
