Default Redcat Volcano EPX Pro-Need help!!!

My wife just got me my first RC car for xmas and I'm already having problems with it. It's electric and after Icharged the battery I tried to drive it and noticed that it bogs down and shakes when I'm accelerating.Does anyone know what could be causing this and how Ican get it fixed?Any help is appreciated!

sounds like you are describing it studdering when you try to drive it.

does it do the same forward and reverse?

How long did you have the battery on the charger?

Sounds like the battery isn't charged to me.

Charge the battery up then test it with a volt meter. My Shredder studders like you are talking about when the batteries are very week.

Edit: I was also just thinking you may have a bad charger. My buddy locally has an EPX Pro and his wasll charger was bad out of the box. But his batter charged just fine on my THunder Charger and his truck ran great after that.
