Castle Sidewinder

[sliceofnoob]

well I've had the sidewinder 3 esc and 5700kv castle 4pole motor for about a week now and havent had any problems, until yesterday i was using it and all the sudden it took off on me and i had to chase it down a hill lol, luckily it rolled and i turned it off, i turned it back on and my motor does not work anymore, for some reason my steering radius was cut in half. I did some trouble shooting, the esc is blinking yellow, which tells me there is something wrong with the controller. is it talking about the esc or the radio transmitter? if it is the esc does that mean i have to send it in to be fixed? i dont understand if you need anymore info just lemme know

Since you have multiple issues, I say troubleshoot the ESC & radio.

Make sure the TX batteries are good (check with a meter if you have one), even new batteries can be bad out of the box.

Then check the TX throttle settings, EPA's to 100%, trims (and subtrims) to "0", then recalibrate.

TX steering, see if you have a DR setting (dual rate), that may have changed.
