Spectrum rc no throttle but have steering!

[Dmkkings]

My spectrum esc went into thermal mode last night! Now when i turn the car on there is a small single green flashing light! Then if I unplug the b lead and turn the esc on it flashes a solid green light. The same pattern and green light as it did before it went into thermal shutdown!

Have you tried to calibrate the throttle yet? Also check to make sure your throttle trim knob is not turned up or down it needs to be centered.

If it continues to do the repeating single led flash after it cooled down, a different battery has been hooked up, and ESC re-calibration has been tried, then you'll need to do some troubleshooting to find out if youve damaged the motor or the ESC. Do you have another kit or any spare electronics you can try? For example try a known good motor with the ESC and see if the esc works or try a known good ESC with the motor from that kit and see if the motor works.
