Hi Everyone,
great forum, this thread in particular.
i bought my Brushed Outlaw from a local model show after much deliberation on my return to R/C.
First impressions were very good, only had the motor mount bolts work loose after about 6 batteries, and again after another six. Then today it appears the esc has failed. On the third battery of the afternoon it has stopped going forwards and backwards, steering works fine but the led just blinks when you ask it to go forwards or backwards. I think I may not have let it cool down enough between batteries?
So, the question now is........ Do I replace the esc and leave this one standard for the kids to play with and get myself an early birthday prezzie of a yeti or a brushless Outlaw( seem to be some good prices about) or go brushless with this Outlaw? And for me to go brushless I would need a couple of lipos and probably a steel driveshaft along with motor and esc, I would also like to replace the steering servo as it seemed a bit slow.
i have a few days to think about it as the dark evenings mean no rc time.
Any input would be gratefully received!
