|  Throttle issue
My throttle seems to be sketchy. There is very little of a "smooth increase in speed " from a stop. this makes it areal pain when your trying to gingerly crawl over something. Does anyone else have this issue? I am running the 55t with the stock esc. It did do it before I upgraded too. my bro 'n' law has a Scorpion and his runs real nice and smooth. Maybe its time to upgrade the speed control/radio?. The stock electronics are bottom of the barrel arent they? Todd |

Yep, your ESC is giving out. Got a budget for a new one?

yup, I'm starting to have a similar problem with my stock ESC. It used to be MARGINAL at best. Now I'm noticing it's getting glitchy (worse than before!). Might be time for a Rooster Crawler...

yeah with the stock esc on the wheelie king it doesnt have as many steps as most after market speed controls.... i like to relate steps to the old mechanical speed controls where you have 3 steps reverse, foward and foward faster....and this is probably why it seems kinda jittery.... the more steps there are the smoother transitions between the different speeds....but in a electronic there are many more of course.... this is also why that rooster for crawlers is awesome!!!!
