Super Rooster problems

[Metalhead Matt]

Well, the Rustler's at it again. This time, after running for a minute or so, I lose all power to the motor and steering. The led on the esc glows red with a slight pulse to it. After a few minutes, it seems to work fine. Then it does it again. I ran the truck wide open for a few minutes holding it up. Then I stopped one tire at a time as to put a light load on it. I couldn't get it to malfunction doing this. I made sure it wasn't any connections. The led never shuts off. The esc seems to go into a protection mode. Nothing is even remotely getting warm. It acts the same with 6, 7, and 8 cell packs. I lost the manual for the esc along time ago, though I remember how to set it up. There's a chance it may have gotten wet at one point. I'm thinking the esc is going to take a trip to a Novak shop.

Yeah, I'm starting to think I would be better off with some stompers! Or hook a dimmer switch up and run it with a servo. I haven't ran a pack dead since fall! Discouraging.
