My buggy won't move, stuttering motor...

[el tomaso]

First answer is the winner, but it took me a while to figured it out. See I had my esc to battery cable, being to long, so i made a loop and zip tied it to my esc to motor wires. Worked well for a long time.

BUT each time i pulled the deans connector to the battery, which is hard sometimes, I pulled slightly on the three 4mm bullet connectors on the motor wires. Me being overly protective against shorts, (after I burned a brand new MMPro on the bench when wiring up a new buggy, once..), I added a long heavy duty piece of shrinktube over the connections, and I thought that would keep them from coming loose, but it made it impossible to see that the bullets were slowly being pulled out

So then started random glitching, hesitation to start, but when I had it rolling it could go full speed until it stopped completely, then I would have to gun the throttle several times before it would drive again. Then it wouldn't move at all. Just a buzzing noise when I tried the throttle, which I stopped and pulled the battery and went home. Tried the things I mentioned, no luck until Arct1k saved the day, thanks to you and the others who replied!

That Arct1k is a pretty smart guy. We are lucky to have him here.
