As you know from this topic:http://forums.radiocontrolzone.com/showthread.php?t=185631 I have a new RC10B4 Factory Team with the SS5800 Brushless and an XR2i. Well, I set the car down on the ground with a fairly charged GP3300 pack(i had another one just peaking that i was going to run with when it was done). I drove it around for the first time, and after a minute of driving, it stops dead. The steering servo works, but the motor isn't moving.
Drivetrain isnt binding, the lights on the ESC are working, I tried another reciever of the same model, etc.
All the wires are plugged in, sometimes when i poke a wire or two it will glitch. Unplugging the throttle wire from the reciever and plugging it back in gets me a little glitch of the motor. Two different recievers do this.Also, sometimes the motor will work, but in VERY jerky cogging movements, and will only rotate back and forth, then the ESC does a thermal shutdown. The diode gets really hot also.
What the heck could have happened? There is lots of snow on the ground, but the streets are dry, maybe a little moist. There's also a little salt on the ground that they used to dry up the snow the night before.
Anyone got any suggestions?
