| sidewinder help
Was running my lcc with titan 21t and 12 t pinion and the motor quit working. Been running this combo for a few months with no heat issues- motor 110* and sidewinder not even warm. Still powers on but have no throttle. Tried rebinding, reprogramming, swapped motors, changed receivers, Im I missing something or is it fried?

if the motors are good you may have fried the f e t 's in the esc. i had a similar problem and sent it to castle and they replaced it.

yes, I reprogrammed it, didnt help. The lights come on saying what direction I go when I apply throttle(green, red, orange) but does nothing.

this might sound stupid but try reseating your brushes. they might be stuck and not making contact.also do the motors spin by hand?other then that call castle
