Ok, well i havent been able tyo run my Ta05 recently becuase i stripped out a diff bolt, and im waiting for it to arrive. In the meantime ive installed some hop-ups. Ive got a futaba 3PKS, and ive been told that you can switch the crystals inside the modules, and ive done it many times before with other cars (they were all nitros), and ive never had any problems. I tired doing it with my TA05. it uses a synth crystal, so i just changed the channel it was on by turning the dials, and i installed a crystal in the 3PKS module. I turned it all on, and the steering worked fine, but theres a problem with my motor.Its a trinity Co27 PRO 27T motor, and its only been ran around 12 packs, so its still very new. When i pull the trigger the motorwill run for a second or 2, but very slowly, and then it will slow down to a stop, and the motor wont turn. Every time i unplug my battery and plug it in again the same thing happens, it will run for like 2 seconds, and then sto[ working. When i pull the trigger and it doesnt move i hear a beeping/buzzing noise. Currently the motor is disconnected from the drivetrain, so i know that isnt my problem. Any ideas on what wrong??
P.S. My ESC is also brand new, a Novak XRS ESC.

responded on RCdori with this. is your battery pack dead? most recievers or ESCs i dont remeber which one, allows the steering servo to have priority in the case of a voltage drop. prevents you from crashing your car. yes it seems like a dummy test but you wouldnt believe

It must have been either the pack or the brushes. I used a different pack, and made sure my brushes werent hung up, and it worked.

I am Thinking ESC...
Current is getting to the motor, just not alot..
Battery Pack could be a related Issue but as You said Your Getting The motor to turn then Beeping occurs which has me believing the ESC could be at fault...

Ok guys the battery didnt fix the problem. I know the batery im using was fully charged, i went out and ran the car for about 30 secs (for those 30secs, it was perfect!!!!, first time running it with all the hop-ups, and the locked rear diff), and it all of a sudden stopeed working, the lights on the esc were funcition correctly, i went to look at the brushes, and i think I broke one of my springs becuase its a little bit shorter then the other one now, and it mount fit. Im gonna order some new brushes, and srping, but the current ones look perfectly fine, except both of them have small nics in one of the edges. Could that be my problem??
