Turnigy sct won't go fast HELP
Full charged battery. Turn radio on and turn truck on, it takes off super fast then goes into like a limp mode. Turn truck off and back on, takes off fast for about 10 feet then it slows down and goes slow again. I have tried different batteries. I do lot know what to do.

Ok when this usually happens its due to the ESC having the LVC enabled, and its detecting the NiMh as a fully discharged 3S lipo
A fully charged NiMy 6 cell pack is about 9 volts which is the cutoff for a 3S lipo. When ESC's engage the cutoff they go slow like you are describing so they don't damage a lipo
Read your ESC's manual, and find the instructions for turning the LVC off as I'm 99% sure that is your problem. We have had many people over the years with the same issue post on many different models, and makes running on NiMh the one thing linking them was every time the once they disabled the LVC it worked fine.
