Default ESC Problem on sunfire

I know this says nitro forum, but i bought a sunfire ep, and it ran fine the first 3 cycles then halfway through driving it with the 4th charge I stop the car then i go to accelerate and nothing....The light comes on on the esc when i pull the trigger but nothing to the motor, I checked all wires and its connected...one more thing the esc doesnt get the audible beep when its turned on anymore. is there anykind of warranty that covers it I got it from raidentech.com they take returns but it would probably be cheaper for me to buy an esc than to ship it back to them

Don't worry I can help. But do this this. disconnect every and try to connect it again. Run the battery down and charge it for a good 12 hours. See of this fix the problem.

Let me know your Raidentech order number

Yes the the stock battery won't last for sure if you got money you should get better battery and better charger. It would be the best thing to do.

hey,

this has happened to me before, you have to make the throttle to nothing, where the car is idle and the wheels arent moving, at the center. if you start the car with the throttle turned up or down, the car will not run. this happened to me w. my Traxxas stampede. its been 3 months since you last wrote but see if that caused the problem.
