Mini lst2 rx or esc trouble?

[2revo1maxx]

I'm having trouble with my mlst2. I try to reprogram it, forward works fine, but the reverse is very glitchy. Sometimes reverse won't work at all. I have to assume it's an esc problem, but I can't be sure.

I may just get a brushless kit for it, but it's mainly for my nephew to run so I'm not sure yet.

esc, every one i had burned out.

i just sold mine on ebay with the spool in it. the servos and esc's in those are junk. the axles also bend easy, and the differentials strip easy.

It sounds like the ESC is shot. If you're planning to go brushless, remember that you will break drive line parts.

Anyone know of a good upgrade esc (keeping stock motors).

i don't know any mini dual motor esc's, but if you decide to go brushless pm me.

A good single motor is the Novack SPY, I've used them with with good results on 1/18 minis and it held up really well. They retail for about $30.
