Mamba Max steering but no motor

[tedmales]

I was running my crawler today ( ax10 with 7t puller motor and 2 850 mah lipo 11 volt pack ) it was working like a champ. I ran the batteries untill the unit let me know the voltage was low. I charged them both, but now have no throttle. When I power the car up I can see the red light on the esc glows, but its not bright, and the other 2 are kinda on also. I am not sure whats the deal. It does not make any noise, no flashing, nothing. Any help. I tried the castle link, but it would pull the settings but not send new ones. I cannot get it into the programing mode either. Is this thing done? Help!!!



Edit: Answer to problem found . I found on another forum, the firmware went bad. I used the castle link to downgrade the firmware in the esc to the oldest, then updated it to the newest. Now it works like a champ again.

Try some different batteries. My bet is they are toast from running that 7t puller.

Had a similar problem once in one of my stadium trucks....in the end it cost me my main.

In my case I had powered up the Tx in advance of turning on my receiver & ESC. When I depowered everything and did it in the opposite order, everything was fine......
