Thanks guys, re-calibrating did the trick.

Hi all I've been out of the hobby for a while, but decided on a whim today to get my RC's off the shelf where they've been languishing for years. Since the battery in the Rustler seemed to be the only one on board with the whole 'holding charge' thing, I had a go at running it, but it doesn't move. Steering servo works fine, transmitter/receiver have no problems I can see (have tried putting the steering servo into the throttle channel and it turns with the trigger) but still movement and no noise suggesting the motor is even trying to turn. Some preliminary googling suggests the ESC is toast but I'm 99% sure it still worked when I put it away and I don't see how it could break by doing nothing, unless it's just one of those things. It's the VXL model so its running a VXL3s Thanks

Or you could not burn your fingers by shelling out

Axial SCX10's are a good place to start - durable (enough for crawling anyway), quite capable out of the box, easy to use and there is a plethora of shiny metal things you can bolt to them Quite a hefty price tag, but they are worth it Haven't had any problems with mine other than the ones I created myself

ok so nowt major then (hopefully)

Hi all Bit of a noob to nitro, I've been told that the engine in a car I'm interested in buying needs a new button plug as the thread has given up, lowering the compression (effectively) Was wondering whether this is a normal thing to happen or if it means it's not been used/cared for correctly? Many thanks in advance for your wisdom

Did you follow the advice given in the last topic on that issue? Not being rude just wondering

Check the slipper clutch? might be loose although I'm not sure if they can get that loose tbh Edit - not sure if it has one though

Found the battery for the SCX10, had a happy hour of plush suspension articulation Then the soldering connecting the fuse to the esc switch fell off Funnily enough, this happened on the last Mtroniks esc I owned as well...

I believe that it charges at 5 amps?says charge rate 5a on modelsport my powercells say charge at 'up to' 4 amps (mine are 7 cell 3000mah ones) just in case this helps

Broke a front bearing carrier by attaching it. Broke 2 more yesterday by means of 'Fence'. These things have the rigidity of cheddar I only bought them on Monday
