well i think i have a bad esc. im still using the factory axial esc left over from my bug ax10 build. anyway, the steering servo is brand new axial as2 and a brand new traxxas receiver...my problem is she wont move and turn at the same time????? if i just sit still and steer left or right, no problem. or if i just go forward or reverse, no problem. if i try and move and turn at the same time it just jumps a little and basically doesnt move and the led on the esc is flashing....ive already double checked battery connections (their good i have them sodered) i even swapped the receiver thinking may have a glitch there, still same problem.. im guessing its in the esc but dont have another one to try yet.....any suggestions???

Have you tried another battery pack?

shepsdodge · 12-21-2009, 07:38 PM

no, havent tried that. now that i think of it im down to just one. i guess i need to buy some more for a back up...think that may have something to do with it?

It could be. I have had a bad cell in a battery and it did weird things. Its worth a try. We can all use another battery.

i'll try a battery first. it sure is cheaper than a good esc.
thanks

worn out brushes will make an rc act up mine lost almost all its torque and when steering slowed it right down put new brushes in and running like new

My vote is the batt as well. nominal voltage enough to turn, or drive... not both :P
