Hi all,

First lemme say thanks for all the good info thrown around in here. I'm new
to RC'ing as of last year, bought a Savage on the groups advise and am
several hundred dollars poorer...

But, the reason for my post. I also bought an AE RC18T to use inside over
the winter, but have had nothing but problems with it. I thought I had the
problem sorted, but it's back. Seems to me (total newb) that the ESC is
faulty or glitchy, since the steering works, and the truck will drive
intermittently. I found one wire, the red one, that when wiggled, would get
things going. After a period of time I resoldered it to the motor, drove it,
then re-taped the esc back to the chassis, once I stuck the esc down it
stopped working all together.

Any ideas? Did I leave anything out? Bad ESC or connection? Any ideas would
be helpful

Thanks,

Josh
