Philthy Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Hi all, While driving around our home track i took it over a jump, it landed and then started to slow until it stopped. Inintially i thought the battery was dead but after a full charge still no go. When i plug it in there is no noise (tune) and the green light in the ESC continuously flashes Any tips on what is wrong, tests i can do and how to fix would be much appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretch Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) Have you checked your trims? have you tried recalibrating? Does the steering still work ie is there a loss of signal between tx and rx? Have you checked aerial on rx? checkec all rx connectors?

Philthy Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 I have read the instruction manual and i am not sure how to do these things. Can you please give me some tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bicko Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Basically! Just give the car a thorough going over checking all wires and connections to make sure nothing is amiss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretch Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) I have read the instruction manual and i am not sure how to do these things. Can you please give me some tips? Which manual did you read? Trims refer to pages 8-10 of the manual http://www.hpiracing.com/assets/documents/instruction_manuals/110680-efirestorm_flux-us-m-v2.pdf where it says 'reverse switch' and 'centre throttle trim' also page 15 where it says 'steering trim' Recalibrating again refer to page 10-11 which says 'ESC setup calibration' Also check your failsafe, it's in the manual under 'failsafe' By checking steering still works I mean when you turn on the transmistter and reciever and the esc lights green when you move the steering on the transmitter left and right do the wheels turn? Checking the aerial means seeing if it's physically still attached to the reciever or is it missing/broken. Check rx connectors means are the connectors from the steering servo and esc still connected to the reciever and are undamaged etc. Edited January 2, 2015 by stretch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
