When you change the remote you'll have to re-calibrate the ESC.
Take a look in the manual to learn how to do this.

^ What he said.First time i did that i was like wth?Too.

Turn on the TX
Plug the battery in
Press and HOLD the set button on the esc
It will turn red, than go off
Blinks once, hold full throttle
Blinks twice, go to full reverse
Blinks 3 times, go to neutral
Keep holding and it will blink once again, release and your back into sport mode.

Who told you that?The owner or a worker?
Or just some drunk bum off the street?

Hes obviously an idiot.

You could put a 2 or 3s lipo with NO problems.You may have to gear down a bit.
Thats kinda the point of bl, to be able to harness all the amazing power of lipo and push your truck to speeds many never though possible.

Yeah...I bet he put bigger tires on, too small of a motor, ran it in grass WOT and never geared down.

Yes, most have XT-60 plugs.I just rip them off and put deans on.no biggy.Takes a few minutes to break the soldering gun out and pop a new plug on.
If you dont know how to solder, you COULD have the Lhs do it, but soldering is one of those things that, in this hobby, electric especially, you kinda need to know how to do.
Its REALLY easy to do and learn how to..
