Default RE: 1/8 Super Crawler - ESC PROBLEM NOW?

Well, RedCat supplied me with a new ESC this week. I tried it and discovered..................wait for it...................<ul>[*]ESC Fan does not work at all[*]Going to full reverse throttle from a fwd throttle (of varying speeds) stalls the vehicle - you need to do a double-tap to get the vehicle going in reverse when this happens.[/list]RedCat, if you are monitoring this forum, I am not going to resend this ESC to you - I've alreadyhad my crawler sitting on my worktable for over three weeks waiting for a replacement that does not function properly. Atleast this ESC doesn't make the thing convulse like the first one.

Based on the performance of the Super Crawler at this point, I would not recommend it to folks getting into R/C crawling.
