please help my kid...with volcano exp
I bought my daughter a volcano exp. She was able to use it one time only. Now there is a red blinking light on me ESC, I think that's what it's called. And there is no power to the truck. She can turn the wheels on it though. I've read that there is a reset button on the ESC? Could this be her issue. Could it be something else. I made sure that she had the battery fully charged and new batteries in her controller.any help would be greatly appreciated. I bought this truck for her and she's very excited to have it and equally upset that she can't use it. She lives out of state so I'm unable to help her out.I want to make sure I get the problem figured out so if it needs to be returned within 30 days it's allowed I can do that.any help would be greatly appreciated from both my daughter and I. Thanks.

Thanks for your help. I'm questioning getting another exact model. It doesn't seem to be very kid friendly. The new bright I got her for Xmas died in two days. So not sure what to do.

Hi jmilk93 , Depending on the age of the child , and the depth of your wallet , it's a general rule that the more you spend the better of a product you will get . I have seen those "New Bright" RC cars in my local Benny's for some really cheap prices , and always wondered how they could make anything with a list price of $9.99 that actually works . A somewhat more reliable RC truck for a beginner usually start out at around $50 or $60 dollars .

My Feedback: (1)
is that the Redcat Volcano EPX?
it looks like they've had issues with the ESC's and / or NimH battery depending on the specific model...
have a look here:

we've also got a forum specifically for redcat racing vehicles, you'll likely get more help there:

tons more info already on that forum
I hope that helps!
