I had this happen last night to my Arrma Notorious. I tried new batteries in the truck, new batteries in the radio, checked connections, then I messed with the ESC a little bit and still no change. This morning I tried this trick and it worked! Thanks 🙏🏼

Excellent video, helped me out greatly. I just got a Losi truck and right out of box the red light was blinking but the tires did turn and then it just took off on its own but I caught it before any damage occurred. It then did no throttle movement, just steer. This confused and frustrated me until I came across your video and I saw the throttle trim was turned up to the max from the factory so I adjusted it to the middle and started the rc up again then all the lights turned green and the truck operated normally. You saved me a lot of time and frustration. Thank you very much!

I never comment on KZfaq videos, but thank you SO much for this video! I thought I was going to have to put a new ESC in my Senton, but it turns out my 3yo just messed with my radio settings when I wasn't looking, and I didn't even think to check

@phw340 Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the video! I just picked up a new RC car and all of a sudden the throttle died on me but the steering worked. I substituted a different receiver, thinking maybe the ESC or receiver burnt out but then the ESC worked and so did the receiver so I was really confused and that’s when I noticed a blinking red light which I thought was really weird. I didn’t touch anything and then I started to get my throttle back. I did a Google search and found this video and it makes sense how you explained it. I believe when I was driving it around the other day I did have the throttle trim, turned up because I was playing around with it to see what it did. Thanks so much for explaining it and the little red, blinking light is no longer there! Thank you!

Hi Razor, my power lead to my esc broke yesterday. So after re-souldering the wire, I powered up. Red light of death, I had steering but no drive. Searched your video's and yep you had the answer. It's now fixed. Thank you so very much you saved me £85.00 in the UK. Not sure how long my soulder will last though. Ha. Thank you so much. John
