SamUk Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I have a HPI Savage XS probably a couple of years old now... Have taken it out after some time and am having an issue that I've not been able to solve. Once the Lipo is connected the cars transmitter doesn't allow throttle to be engaged until about 5 minutes and then it works perfectly. However steering is there and completely responsive. I've bought a new controller, new servo and the car is working properly as after 5mins when it connected I used it for a good 1hr which included a battery change inbetween and to my surprise the car continued working. However another issue presented itself... reverse not engaging when pressed and instead at random times. So the issue was having to wait 5mins for the esc to finally connect to the controller to allow throttle to be pressed. Once it's all working every now and then reverse decides to stop working and comes back randomly.

Mack1 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Sounds like the esc is on its way out. Just by process of elimination that is the only thing left? In the mean time have you tried rebinding it or recalibrating the esc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GorillaZilla Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Yup, throttle signal has to be pretty much dead on 0% for the ESC to start, and also needs throttle to be at at 0% to unlock reverse after braking. Could be your ESC needs re-calibrating or your Transmitter is wandering around.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
