Hi there! New to the forums.
Wonder if any experts here could help me. One of my cars is the cheap but fun GPTOYS 1:12 Scale 4WD "McGruff" S926 RC Truck. It uses an ESC/Receiver called HBX 12891 1/12 ESC Speed Controller Receiver Unit 12522RT.
I noticed how it would just stutter all of a sudden, specially if you would give full throttle, it would either not move at all, or stutter, if you give throttle bit slower you would be more successful, but all and all the car became useless pretty much useless. I tried different batteries in both Radio and car itself with no success.
Started looking into it and came up with that it must be the ESC/Receiver (combined unit). So I ordered in a new one, got it in place, and same thing.. maybe slightly better. The radio has slow and fast speed setting, and I can tell it's definatly working better when on slow setting, although not perfect.
When the stutter happens, the ESC light is blinking.
The only things I can come up with now is:
1. Radio unit itself?
2. Motor itself?
3. Solder on the motor?
This is obviously a cheap car, so i dont wanna spend too much money on it, but its been a fun car and its well built for the price, I only paid $100 cad for it.
What would you suggest I continue with and it what order? Anything else that I could be missing?
Cheers
Matt
