They'll be back to their mum on Monday so will start fresh and uninterrupted them. Right, i'm going to wedge myself into the roof eves to play, ahem, hone my driving skills on the microcrawler track! Will let you know how Monday goes! Cheers 👍🏻 Basically, if you just plugged the ESC in and drove it, theres a chance the end points arent set correctly. In laymans terms, you press full throttle but the ESC doesnt know what full throttle is, so doesn’t give it you. Your ESC will have a calibration mode where you set this up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at the transmitter and the end point adjustment for throttle is set at 100% but I can increase it? Can't see what affect it has tonight but could that change things? Also dual/rate is set at 100%, does this have any limiting effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 no its the esc endpoints you need to set if i remember right theres a power button and a smaller set button on esc switch so switch on transmitter then press and keep pressed the set button then power on esc then let set button go esc should then flash once press set button again then move throttle to max forward position it should flah twice then press button again and go full reverse and that should be it set also should flash 3 times but check manual for esc just in case im wrong might be a good idea tho to raise cars wheels of ground or take wheels of whilst doing it just in case 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think starting with the esc and tx is definitely the way forward, then if that yields no joy, look at taking the motor apart to examine that.
