Default What did I do?

Ok, I put a new motor in my scx10. Worked fine hooked up to the stock A-2 ESC. Put back in worked great around the house. Went out lastnight and when I gun it it doesn't move. I can see the pinion and spur move. but it move one tooth at a time. If I give it lite throtle it will start to go and then at that point i get punch it to full speed. from a dead stop I can't give it very much throtle forward or rev. new batts in rig and in TX. Any ideas? Is my ESC on it's last leg? Any help would be great. Thanks

Are you using Lipo batteries or Nimh?

It sounds like you just have a a dead battery and was hitting the low voltage cutoff.

Using Nimh it had a fresh charge 2 nights ago when I swaped out the motor. Used to test for 3-5 min tops. Then back on the shelf till last night when the issue started.
