I adjusted the throttle trim and no affect on the speed. Even with throttle tim all the way up which should have the car going forward it was at a snails pace and giving it throttle had no affect either..Its strange, have two other electric redcats which are fine. When I turn it on the ESC goes through the paces beeps at me when its ready and all seems to be working fine escept forward or reverse there is no speed.
Ok,
does the manual explain how to calibrate the ESC to the radio?
you could test the motor itself by plugging the motor's ends into the battery plug. Youd have to have the truck's wheels off the ground. I havent heard of a motor being bad, but its best to rule out what you can before contacting Redcat about a warrenty issue. If we can rule out everything but the ESC, then it will be easy to get redcat to ship you a replacement.
You have already ruled out the battery as you used others ones you have.
Just for fun, try plugging the ESC's plug into the servo's port on the reciever. Then turn it on and see if the steering wheel controls the speed and if the speed is any higher.
