The red light DOES NOT mean stop lol. It merely is showing that the esc is recognizing the lipo and is now in lipo mode.

It is the KA-BOOMS you have to worry about  Check the temps by touch, or if you are lucky enough to own a temp-gun, at various times during your crawling so you see what makes it hot....or not. My wife and I are always messing with the crawlers. She like to drive fast and furious. One day after one of her assaults on the course, I asked her to stop for a moment so I could check her crawler......I cautiously checked the motor/ esc for temp...I told her it was very hot and to grab another crawler and let this one cool off. She said "If I touched her like I just touched her crawler, she would be hot too!" Wow...that's why she bought me a temp-gun...so I could save the good stuff for............... I did get the green light!jim  |
