Whatsup guys,
I havent been on here for quite a while! Havent posted anything for 8 months! Almost done with my bachelors...
anyways so I let a buddy borrow my slash 4x4 (first mistake) and I just got it back a couple days ago... hed had it for maybe 2-3 months.
I charge up my 3s lipo and plug it into the deans plug... smoke comes out of the ESC
I Let it cool down... bring in a 7 cell NIMH batt....... nothing happens when I plug it in and turn it on.
I go back to the 3s lipo and plug it in to go round 2 and this time it turns on just fine but when I pull the throttle it just sits there and cogs.
I try my other 3s batt and the same thing happens so I unplug and replug all the motor wires, open up the esc to see if anything looks weird (its waterproofed so I cant analyze any of the components), turn lipo cutoff on, re calibrate the transmitter........ and now Im stuck.
I see there being 3 options.
-blown motor
-blown ESC
-???
Its been a while since I messed with any RC's but I know that this slash has been hella reliable since day 1... never any problems!
it is the veliinion vxl3s system with the 3500 sensorless motor I believe.
Any help would be sweet! I wanted to take this to the track or something in the next weekend or so.
Thanks guys!
