Motor or esc problems
 

I have a traxxas 12t with a 20t pinion and everything i go to full throttle and slam it into reverse it glitches then i have to wait a few seconds to get it to go again. Im not using a bec or a dig and im using a 3000 nimh battery. And info on what causes this or how to dix it would be helpful. Thanks everyone

Does your steering work while you wait?

Yes it does

Sounds like a loose connection or it's hitting the LVC. When you let it sit, the ESC comes back on as the battery voltage rises.

Maybe you need a better battery (higher "C" and/or mah).

Or, don't slam it into reverse from high speed forward.

Some one told me that the motor has a fail safe in it and the esc cant handle any motor under a 15t

If you were bashing it good and overheated the motor you could have damaged the esc. Just went through this with my sons slash. Changed the motor because I figured it was damaged because the heat and ended up needing to replace the esc. We have a brushless system BTW if it makes a difference and were at a track running it on 3cell tearing it up.
