Malachite Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 First time I have used the car for a week or so but it has a fully charged battery. Ran for about 20 seconds and then just stopped. Steering works but absolutley zero motor activity, not even a sound. The car also doesn't beep now when I turn it on but the red light on the ESC comes on when I send a command from the controller (steering or forward/reverse). I guess the things to try are: Voltage from the ESC and if that is normal, try the spare motor I have........? What should the correct voltage be from the ESC?

Malachite Posted July 12, 2021 Author Share Posted July 12, 2021 Dead motor! Luckily I have a spare. Slightly cheaper than a new ESC 🙂 Finally, a little lady luck! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
