| what's wrong?
radio: Spektrum DX6 receiver: Spektrum AR6000 ESC: CC Sidewinder Bat: CKRC 8 cell 1500 split packs Steering servo: Hitec 645 Dig servo: hitec 225mg motor: integy 55t So, I changed the esc to brushed settings with the castle link and software. I programmed the esc to learn the transmitters endpoints. Everything works pretty good for about 15-30 seconds when the dig servo engages, throttle goes wide open, no control over the car and the esc is blinking red. Any ideas? thanks |

I was having the same problem with the sidewinder in my scaler. I was told straight from CC to be sure to use a BEC with any crawler or multi servo set up, it is well worth the $20 for one.

Sounds like you BEC is weak and the Spektrum is shutting down.
