Default my crawler died - need help

My crawler died on me tonight. Everything stopped working . No light on the speed control and no light on the receiver.

if I unplug everything from the speed control the red light starts flashing but nothing works.

I tried to bind the radio and receiver . The light on the back of the control blinks then goes solid but no lights on the receiver.

Doe's anybody have any ideas.

I'm running the stock motor and electronics.



Thanks Jeff

you might have lost the bind with the radio also. In your kit is a little plug with the wire. If you turn on your trck before the radio they won't bind.

I put new batteries in the controller and a freshly charged batter in the crawler. Turn both of them on and nothing. The green and red light are on on the controller but the crawler is dead.

Thanks

I have tried to re bind. The light on the back of the controller blinks then goes solid but not lights on the electronics in the crawler.

If I unplug the receiver from the speed control the red light in the speed control starts blinking. If I plug the receiver back in the light stops.

Thanks

Esc died. Mine did the same thing was running a full size servo. Upgraded to a brushless system and never looked back.

I had this happen to me too, so I ordered all new electronics. I wanted to replace them any how.

Call Horizon they will be quite helpful and if there is a defect in your electronics they will make it right. It's worth the call

I agree. If the truck stopped working because something failed they will replace it. Losi's customer service is as good as it gets!
