Thanks for the reply Chev...beginning to think the entire vehicle is a lemon now.

So now Ihave another problem with the S.C. The thing looks like it's going into seizures afterI plop in a freshly charged battery and apply a small amount of throttle. I use the Tenergy Hybrid Smart Charger and it seems to do its job well and alot quicker than the stock charger. Can anyone tell me what the <span style="color: #ff0000">h#@$</span> is happening to my vehicle?

I've about had it!

<span style="color: #0000ff">UPDATE:</span> I checked whether or notdifferent voltage of the batteries affected the twitchy performance...and it appears anything over 7.5v causes the S.C. to go into shaking fits. Is this an ESC issue? Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!

Regards,

B
