Default Brushless EPX

We have the RedCat brushless setup in a Volcano EPX. There are two LED's on the ESC labeled 1 & 2, #1 stays green all the time, #2 starts green then flashes red constantly. The truck seems to run ok for a little while then starts glitching and won't move. I'm not very versed on the electric stuff and the brushless conversion has absolutely NO INSTRUCTIONS with it so it's kind of tough to troubleshoot. [sm=confused.gif]

I'm having the same problem except it doesn't move the motor. #2 stays red/green.

even though its got power, you will find the steering to be very non responsive and it will glitch heavly when the battery starts to go dead.

I found the problem with the jerky motor. The cheap a** banana plugs that come with the ESC feel tight but are loosing connection. We soldered the motor leads directly to the ESC leads and fixed the problem. Still didn't change the flashing light deal though.
