|  Wraith esc help??!!
Ok guys this thread isn't about a Wraith exactly. I got the Wraith esc for my ramcharger build. Well, the other day when I was out doing some scaling the motor seemed jumpy. I couldn't figure out why. Well, I charged my lipo (2s 3300 Losi) and was going to head out again this evening and all I got on my esc was a fast blinking red light. I don't have the Castle link card and I am running a Specktrum DX3E. I have no idea where to go with figuring out the problem from here. Let me know guys, thanks!!

tried rebinding my DX3E and nothing. I can't figure this out????? The esc just sits there and sounds like something is clicking inside of it?? No matter what I do it still clicks. Well if I turn it off it stops of course.

Very fast click? Do you get audible tones when you plug in the ESC? Are the lights full strength?

No I don't get any tones at all. I just plug in, turn on, and all I get is the fast blinking red and looks like maybe green light? I was also just adjusting my servo position (turning my wheels back and forth plus moving the horn in different positions) and the next thing I knew my esc started to get hot?? :confused:

It sounds like the ESC BEC is browning out. Contact Axial and they will take good care of you!

I will be happy to sell it to someone if they think they can do that. I just went a head and bought a Traxxas xl-5 lipo ready esc off ebay for $36 shipped brand new. Make an offer if you guys are interested. It will be posted up middle of next week sometime when I get my other scaler in the mail and I sell the spare parts off of it.
