|  Weird Problem
I went to turn on my rs10 xt this morning and steering worked fine, but it would only go in reverse. When I went to turn it off again the motors began spinning at full speed and wouldn't stop until I unplugged the battery. Now whenever it is plugged in (switched on or off) the motors constantly run. I've tried unplugging it from the receiver with no luck. Seems to be a ESC issue, i've never seen anything like this. Annoying since it is only a month or so old. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? Thoughts on how to fix? Thanks. |

It just did that to me, but my crawler is a year old, with many upgrades. It turns out the esc got cooked. I thought there might have been a bit of water damage, but I couldn't find anything to confirm that for sure. Do you smell smoke??? Redcat customer service seems to be pretty awesome though, go to the website and tell them whats up. |

It smells a little, but not over the top. Sent in the warranty request yesterday. Glad to hear their support on these types of issues is good. Thanks for the feedback. |
