    Does ESC take as many volts as it needs?

    So I have a 12-volt 5-amp motor that I'm using for a ROV. I was just wondering if I could hook the motor up to a 20-volt battery and if the ESC would still be drawing the same volts or it would be feeding the ESC to many volts.

    Max 8 ESC blinking power switch

    My Hobby wing max 8 ESC turned off on me while I was driving it. The power switch is just blinking red when I try to turn it on, not the ESC, and there’s nothing in the manual about it. It happened after I connected some lights. I already disconnected the lights and made sure all the connections...

    Traxxas X-maxx ESC problem won't power off

    My esc powers up when I plug in the batteries. I cannot shut it off unless I unplug the batteries. Also the center red light next to the V stays lit up. I have tried to run it and it only has little to no power. Any suggestions on what this might be? Thank you
