My Micro is cutting out. If I am runing all the sudden it will stop. I pick it up shake it, slap it, and the light on the ESC comes back on. Now I have wiggled every connection to see if that cuts it out and they all check out fine. It seems like the power going through the ESC is making it cut out after a minute. I thought at first it was a rock getting stock in the gears/belt but it wasn't the ESC light was off. It is the Novak Spy. Do you think this is my problem?, this is why electrical stuff makes me frustrated.:batman:
 
Can you say fence post?

Just look at it this way, Jump off the roof and slam your head into the fence post a few times and see if your light goes out for a couple of seconds every now and then.

Absolutely.
Make sure you send them the video so they know you didn't abuse it.

Remind me to slap you next week!:whistle:
Your thread just killed an entire litter of kittens and a few from the next litter as well. :trout:
 
bad kitty, seriously I used it SO much after that with little to no abuse and now just today wham this short crap?
 
Its been in a coma for a week. It just now woke up and realized it was hurt.

Send it back and see if they will replace it. Even if you told them you jumped it off your roof a half a dozen times they wont believe you.
 
Well it was the switch to the ESC and not the ESC itself. This could have easily been caused by me pushing my finger up under the body putting pressure from funny angles breaking the connection under the plastic swtich. Now i don't have a on/off switch it is hardwired and when I plug my batt in its on and when I unplug the batt it's off. Kudo's for Novak, can take a licking and keep on ticking.
