So I just got my Wraith about a month ago(RTR) and I was driving it hard of course, and my Pinion came loose (the gear from motor to the tranny, could be wrong on the name) is this something common? well I took the truck apart and figured out that the set screw was loose (on the pinion). I tightened it and it worked fine, so when I re-assembled the truck I guess I didn't notice that when I mounted the motor to the tranny the wires would cross when attached the bottom skid plate mount. The wires got hot and melted together which of course killed my stock 20T motor (the wires touched while operating and it would slow down and smelled burnt). this eventually led to the truck not moving anymore. I took it apart again and saw the motor wires melted together. will I have problems with the ESC? is there a way to check without a motor if the ESC still works properly? the LED light on the ESC is solid green when I hit the throttle forward on my receiver, and when I push the throttle in reverse its blinking red. Is this normal? I am waiting on a Integy 45T motor, is this a good crawler motor? I know it will slow it down. I don't want speed I want to creepy crawl it. haha all the help needed please, im new to the whole electric R/C group. I had a Gas powered R/C before and im so excited to drive this Rig again!
