Default Why is my mrc stopping?

When driving along my mrc will stop for no reason. I'll let off the throttle then it goes again.

Battery might be almost dead... Did you check that?

ive seen one of these do this once found out the esc was running reverse to spin the motor in the right direction i would look up the manual for the esc an see what color the led lights r suposed to be with the forward input on the controler. i say this as some esc will allow a set time in reverse to keep esc from getting hot. not sure if this is whats happenin to u but its free an worth a shot

When the rig stops, does the steering still work?

Does either the motor or ESC get hot?

Did you try another battery pack?

Nothing is hot. Both directions the led is same color. I will try running in reverse for while see if it still does it. I do know if I am driving forward and hit reverse it is instant, hits hard enough the rear end comes off the ground!

Also I do have motor/trans flipped but I have wires flipped so it runs foward with foward (positive from esc hooked to negitive of motor, negitive of esc to positive of motor). Only have one battery pack.
