alright so ive had my sc10 for about 2 weeks now and have probably driven it 6 times. im running a 2s 5000mA lipo with all the stock electronics. yesterday it acted kind of weird and no its not working. so my lipo was dead yesterday and i threw it on the charger for 15 minutes just to put it around my garage for a couple of minutes. there was hardly any power at all and it gradualy got slower until it just stopped and only the steering would work. this is weird to me because i thought the power was supposed to be the same all the way until the end, and then just cut off. so i charged my battery last night and plugged it in this morning and only the steering works. yes i check the motor wires, a few times actually. i reprogrammed the speed control, and still only steering. and also, so when the car is at idle turned on, the led light is orange right, and when you reverse or throttle the light goes away. its still doing that, if that helps at all. im a noob and would appreciate any suggestions, thanks.
I'll say its the ESC 100% as I just had the same problem.... I bought a new rc10t4 and the esc did the same thing esc would lite up light go out in reverse and throttle and only steering would work.. Sent it off and got it back today and it works perfect. I had an enclosed note telling what the problem was and they had to replace a couple of glass caps.
