Mine is on the way. You have me worried!

[tapped-out]

Everything else works just no dig?
Are you sure there aren't any loose wires going into receiver? If the dig is bad that does suck.. but that stuff happens with all companies..

Be sure to move motor wires off lower links..

Are you going to make any border line crawler comps next season?

[jdmguy760]

Ya idk what it is I'm not sure esc was working now it don't I have a castle bec soldered to batt lead like normal I plug the dig into channel 2 it works plug back into 3 nothing I plug servo into 1 works plug into 3 nothing so nothing is working on channel 3 or the toggle now for the dig it does work but the esc does not is it my luck I got a bad rx tx and esc this is my 1st time with rc4wd rtr stuff and so far not digging it

And as comps not sure I'm in a wheelchair makes it a bit hard to go to a comp this up coming year I will be able to but don't know if I can compete

Looking at this wire diagram I'd check esc/motor wires make sure they are plugged in all the way and tight. Make sure receiver wire isn't plugged in backwards.

Being in a wheelchair would make it hard to compete.

Bro I've done all and everything possible lol it don't work dig does esc no and channel 3 on tx or the toggle switch on rx or both I think both as I tested

Stock dig setting on the radio (ch3) is the black switch in front of the wheel, move the dig to ch4 if you want the silver toggle to be the dig.

[jdmguy760]

I tried that to still didn't do anything it's honestly my luck and the esc don't work it did for a sec then stopped now it just has red lights im over this shit makes me to frustrated lol

Only other thing I can think of is make sure the esc heat sink plug from the esc is plugged in, wont work otherwise.

[jdmguy760]

Well I checked that it was a lil loose so esc works but it's just full throttle now nothing else no way to turn it down on radio

Ya I deff have it figured out its in the esc reason the dig worked for a sec when I 1st plug in I heard a click but wheels where not spinning soon as I checked that plug pushed it in more plugged the dig in channel 4 it works but the esc is like stuck in full throttle mode it's tripping has to be esc everything else works

Weird. Get in touch with them and Im sure they'll get a new one out asap.

[jdmguy760]

Ya I was talking to them earlier but it was about the issues going on glad with your help got it narrowed to the esc it's a relief

Hope it works out and that can definitely dampen the excitement! Just got mine yesterday and want to tear into it from all of the ideas/recommendations in this forum but wifey just isn't giving me the time yet, haha Same excitement crusher but different reason. Anyways take the time to make some of the changes listed around here if you want in the meantime (just as much fun as driving them sometimes). Good luck and I'm sure it will all work out!

[jdmguy760]

Ya I feel ya man sucks not being able to drive it but it's alright ya I already did all the changes they suggested next is tear it apart and paint the panels
