Same dude

Same,, having problems after trying a first charge on the batteries haha!! 😂

I figured the kids are asleep right above us😂🙌🏻

Glitch buster

Rakshit Bhatt does anything smell burned?

Nathan Languerand might want to check the settings on your transmitter and then rebind and reprogram the ESC.

Huntington Beach Sasquatch as in the transmitter is off?

No on/off switch, When I plug in the battery nothing works, when I unplug the transmitter from the ESC the ESC powers up, starts to do it's beeps and the fan starts that's on top the ESC. Thanks for the reply! Perhaps My Son and I will be driving it again.

Huntington Beach Sasquatch Ok. The transmitter is the part you hold in your hand. The part that's connected to the ESC is called a receiver. It seems like your receiver may be shorted out.

I'll get a new one, Thanks for the advise.

I don't really know the C14 specs or functionality, but it is kind of a middle ground rc. Not toygrade, but still not Hobby garde. That being said, the first thing to check is always always make sure your battery is charged. On a hobby grade rc when the battery is low it will stop the motor but will still allow steering.

First I would contact traxxas for customer service. Other than that if power gets to the main board and it does not power up it could be the voltage regulator but i have no idea how its setup or what it looks like.

I was planning on it, I just moved and am still setting up the shop. Anything in particular?

Carlos Arnavat right of my guess would be your ESC is defective. Since you tried two receivers and get the same result. It's all about elimination.

Electronics can fail in so many ways. Its possible that activating the throttle completely shorts out the esc's systems and then it resets somehow. You took the motor to be tested, why didn't you do the same with the esc?

Ahmet KANDEMİR you might need to program your esc with your radio. check your instructions for how to di that.

Yes if you have a Multimeter you can checkbthe voltage at the usually red and black wires. There should be some exposed metal on the connector where you can place the probes. Voltage in most cases is between 5 and 6 volts.

@@TheLEDwheel you got a new sub. Really appreciate that & I’ll go try that. THANKS!

@@ColinDresser so whats the result of your test?

@@TheLEDwheel I have a terrible KZfaq channel that’s not really worth mentioning but I broke it down there. It comes down to my ESC. I’m considering just replacing it All together with an upgraded one but I emailed the company to see if I can have them warranty mine out 1st. I purchased a new receiver because the LED was not lighting up and I wasn’t sure if the smaller receiver from flysky was even compatible with the Krayton 6S so I bought a new bigger sized one since they were only $30 and tried it yesterday. Soon as I got the new receiver & plugged it in the LED light started working so I thought to myself great! it was the receiver the whole time. Tried to bind the vehicle to the remote and could not, then I thought to myself well let’s plug the old receiver back in and see if we can get the LED working on that again and sure enough the old one started working again and it was just fine but I was unable to bind that one either. So I’ve narrowed it down to the ESC which is steady flashing it’s red light at me not allowing me to bind. Frustrating after two months of having the vehicle I’m currently researching to see if there’s any hard resets or something that I can do to try and just reset it myself because I really don’t want to buy another ESC but will if I have to. Thanks for the follow up! If you got any ideas I’d be all ears. Peace ✌️

What's your issue?

When I turn on my actual rc car it moves an inch and makes a small sound then it just idles and I can't even use the remote even tho I just put new batteries and my car is charged ☹️

What's the RC and what electronics are in it?

@@TheLEDwheel it's a drift rc car and can I send u a pic of it

zeus m84 place the RC on something off of its 4 wheels and remove the cover. Hit the throttle and play with your wiring to see if it's ok. My first impression is a loose connection.

TheLEDwheel thanks so much I have a glitch buster capacitor coming too, I feel like it's a servo /bec problem I had this happen really bad on a truck and changed the servo and it fixed itself. Thank you for the advise it's all starting to make sense now. I will do what you suggest sir keep up the good work .

Not sure i understand the issue. Every rotates fine without the motor in? Tried another motor? Gets hot when you try to reverse or forward as well?

theLEDwheel it seemed to me like the motor took a slam. Just went down to the shop to test the revers function on the remote. It now works in both directions but one direction has limited function still. Amazingly fast reply btw. 👍

Seems to have been a transmitter problem. Programming issue or something of the like. I’m really confused now. Thanks for being around! Great video. Definitely subscribed.

Could be a loose connection, but was this mentioned to the manufacturer/seller?

Have you tried re synching the esc with the radio? I have had an ESC lose its sync and did some weird stuff like that. If you can, connect the esc to a different receiver and/or try the radio set on another ESC.

You are saying that you turn on the RC and the lights come on and then turn on the transmitter and they turn off? For starters you should never turn on the RC first. Have you tried turning it on without the servo connected?

@@TheLEDwheel I haven’t I’ll unplug it and retry it

Mynfirst thought is a bad connection. Check to make sure your connections are making proper contact.

So its a combi ESC/receiver that's fine. Does it have a low voltage cutoff for LiPo batteries? Is the battery actually charged?

@@REightch do you know if the RX is getting power from the ESC?

It can be done when on but its best to turn off in case.

For your power going through the RX.... While the power will be taken from the Rx's connections, the power distribution is the same across all the channels. They are connected in parallel and anything drawn from there is exactly like taking it directly from the ESC. So what ever your ESC is capable of is your max current and limited only by the connection contact surface which can handle way more power than the ESC puts out. If you intend to surpass the ESC's given current limits you could always use an adjustable 10 amp Castle BEC

@@TheLEDwheel I really appreciate the reply, thank you as I wasn't coming across this information anywhere. That makes sense. It's a newer 3S capable esc with integrated BEC rated at 4 amp so my LEDs with 1 amp draw should be just fine. Looking forward to checking out your library of videos!

Could be the BEC in your ESC is defective. Do you have an external BEC you can try?

Or you may need a glitch buster.

This model l3020 has integrated esc so I guess that i might need to exchange the whole thing?

Quite possibly.

Thanks for quick responses, would You advise on getting a better receiver with extenal ecs and bce?

Cristian Stefan cheap esc?

Yes i buyed it for 5 dolars

I think it s done... I ll have to buy another one. The thing is i ll have to wait another 20 days... Oh man this suks

Cristian Stefan very well could be crap. Get your money back and get a hobbywing 1060

TheLEDwheel okey thanks for the info but where can i buy that esc? Any link to any online shop?

As long as you have a servo tester

Check your transmitter for reversing the servo direction. Should be channel 1 for steering.

I've had a receiver do this. I needed to rebind it every time. It still worked well, but I ended up changing the radio set completely as the receiver in question was no longer available.

What esc ? Have you tried reprogramming it.?

It's a arrma typhon mega 4x4

The esc and motor are brushed

Check your manual for recalibration of the ESC.

Ok

Hmmmm, the issue with these entry level or toy grade RC's is most times the electronics are one board and not modular like hobby grade versions. I can only assume that the speed control section of the RC board is defective. I dont know if you can get parts for it or how long you had it for. If not long i would contact the seller or manufacturer for repairs or refund. Otherwise you may be able to upgrade it to hobbygrade electronics but thats not always worthwhile.

Rc Immortals does your motor and ESC get really hot?

Rc Immortals does your drive train spin freely without a motor in it?

TheLEDwheel Motor and esc temps are fine and yes everything spins freely

Rc Immortals could be the batteries are crap. Possibly not really rated as written on the pack.

TheLEDwheel Thanks, it just might be.

More details will be needed. However if the switch was faulty it would either be intermittent or not work at all. If you turn it on and play with the switch does the RX(Receiver) light flicker? Knowing what kit you have might help.

Def servo.

@@TheLEDwheel thank you!!!!

So you connected the battery directly to the motor?

@@TheLEDwheel I used a AA battery, then a 9 volt battery and then yes the rc truck battery direct, no movement/sound, nothing. I'm very new to this hobby. Thanks for the quick response and for any helpful feedback.

If you hold both rear wheels and try to turn them together will they rotate and spin the motor?

@@TheLEDwheel Yes, it turns all 4 wheels and the motor spins, I did notice one of the plastic fins looks distorted, maybe slightly melted, I know this motor gets really hot normally.

Does the motor smell bad. Like burnt electrical wires?

Unfortunately toy grade RC's are not as easy to diagnose. I do not know the electronics in this one but as far as Toy Grade goes I usually upgrade them to Better electronics. This may or may not be worth it.

That's either your motor or ESC. You have to test your motor on another ESC.

@@TheLEDwheel thank you for the quick response. Can it really be the motor if it turns like hell when I hold the car in the air?

Yes but it can also be the ESC. So either testing your ESC with another motor or testing your motor with another ESC is gonna answer your question.

@@TheLEDwheelI'm gonna try to find a way, even though I don't have access to neither of them. Thank you again

Is there a demo mode switch on it?

@@TheLEDwheel Thanks for responding. I only see an on/off switch. Would it be in the same area of the switch? I've looked this thing all over and can't find anything. Should the remote light always be flashing?

Problem is that i know absolutly nothing about the RC toy so i have no idea. Does it have a manual?

@@TheLEDwheel No manual. Thanks for responding and trying. You have a great channel! All the best!

@KenastonKid could still be the rc or TX. Only way to rule that out is another TX or rx to test with.

Has the rc been in the water? Can you turn the back wheels together and make the motor spin?

Ryan Collins ok cool. What's your question?

Have you tried switching the esc and servo channels to see?

Does the receiver work without the steering servo connected?

If it new then it's under warranty. What RC is it?

@@TheLEDwheel vrx mega buggster 1/10 brushless 1032, esc fan sometimes turns on, receiver blinks, bind it,turn it off on again, receiver keeps blinking won't pick up signal

I suspect a bad receiver..

What esc?

Battery charged.. have a tester to check it?

Yes there is, Generally the Darker colours indicate negative and Red or orange for positive. Most of the time its either Red and Black together or Orange and Brown. Yellow and white tend to be the data or signal. Most of the time the receiver will get its power from the ESC so if it is not giving out at least 5 volts it may be defective. I made a 2nd part for using a multimeter and other tests to help diagnose these issues. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fLdgZcSCyLevdps.html&ab_channel=TLWtheLEDwheel

Sounds like a bad ESC.

@TLW theLEDwheel that's kinda the way I was leaning by what I'd seen on internet but no one really had similar enough problems to make sure I appreciate the info

@roberttate195 If you have a hobby shop nearby, they can try another ESC before you spend on a new one.

Have you tried another ESC?

Are there jumper settings on the ESC?

@@TheLEDwheel there two jumpers, one for driving with/without reverse and second for battery type. I replaced original battery with lithium, replaced jumper aswell, and all was working great, till i left it in garage for a wile.

Seems lika a bad esc. Which esc is it?

@@TheLEDwheel not sure, did not see any spec labels. It is original from baja v2. I had before transmitter connectors pulled and damaged pcb cells, so had to solder them, after that could not bind it any more. As result resoldered all soldering points and got it bined. Was driving baja in garden without reverse. Left battery to charge, now decided to go and try to swap receiver channels, to see if can see difference.But car did not pick up transmitter signal any more. Trying to bind but not successful so far. Transmitter is not reacting on binding button

Sounds like you need new elec all around.

Now you need to try a known good Receiver to determine if its the transmitter or the receiver. Or, a know good transmitter.

Have you re binded?

Open up the gearbox and see if either there is junk or broken gears.

chris reyes it never worked since you purchased it?

Connect power direct to the motor to see if the motor runs. If it runs then I would def suspect the ESC.

@@TheLEDwheel Thank you. Good video. I liked and subscribed. I will try that.

By itself or installed in an rc?

Generally you can't mix brands.

Servo might have a short. Try another setvo.

Have you changed the servo wire?

Have you programmed the brushless ESC to work with your radio set?

@@TheLEDwheel no I haven't. But that esc work with my friend 's radio set without any programming. And it doesn't take throttle signal so I can't get into programming mode since I don't have the programming card.

@@julymr5810 I don't mean programming it with a program card. thats not the same. What ESC and Radio is it? this might help be with your issue.

@@TheLEDwheel the radio came with my car, which is a fs racing marauder (53910). I believe it 's a flysky rebranded since the receiver is exactly the same with the fs gr3e. The esc is the surpass hobby 60a.

Did the esc come with a manual?

What is your RC?

Make sure the battery has power/charged. Otherwise start following the power line. You may have to open the transmitter. A multimeter would def help.
