lazkopat Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I took out my Kyosho Rampage truck yesterday, turned the transmitter on plugged in the lipo, it started to run away. I tried to get it working this evening but it did the same thing. it spins on full throttle when it should just stay in neutral, I had a look at the receiver and there's no solid led or sign of life when the lipo is plugged in. behaviour like this does it indicate there there's a shortage somewhere as the the truck wheels just spin constantly even when the on/off switch is off?

Ag100 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Have you tried all the usual, unplug all cables and re fit?, might be worth rebinding the Tx/rx too, are any of the settings on the TX out? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazkopat Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 When the switch is set to off the motor does start to spin, now the switch does turn the esc on and off as it has a blinking led to it. I reckon the throttle for esc is toast although the steering works perfectly fine. Any cheap 2s capable lipo ESC suggestions as this truck does sprint on 2s lipo being it rear wheel drive too?

Do you know if it’s a brushless or brushed motor in the truck currently, do you have a link to the model or specs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
