Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / December 2006e-savage stopped working after one run
i took my brand new e-savage out for it's first run, and it was great. i turn it on now and i don't get that "tone" after the speed control has finished calibrating. steering works fine, but no acceleration forward or reverse. the light on my speed control is blinking green. is there anything i can try ? :i took my brand new e-savage out for it's first run, and it was great. : [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] : : is there anything i can try ? make sure transmitter in neutral when turning on. transmitter should be switched on before car. If you have adjusted the throttle trim previously return that to neutral too before switching on. > :i took my brand new e-savage out for it's first run, and it was great. > : [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > switched on before car.

Also check that the batteries are charged, even when they are flat they will supply enough voltage to power the radio and servo's but may not have enough power to drive the motors. You should always let the battery packs cool after each run, if they were hot then it is more than likely they may not have gotten a proper charge (false peaked). You might want to check your charging source as well. If your using a car battery to charge off of, these twin chargers can reduce the battery life of a car battery very quickly specially when charging at a high current rate.

Doc Did the car get wet when you ran it? >>i took my brand new e-savage out for it's first run, and it was great. >> [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Doc it definitely got wet :) i was driving in the snow. once it dried out it was fine. since then i water proofed my ESC, and no problems. > Did the car get wet when you ran it? >>> i took my brand new e-savage out for it's first run, and it was great.
