Hey everyone. I have an Exceed mad crawler with all stock electronics. Well today it rolled over backwards down a rock and landed upside down, fully smurged in a nice icy cold puddle. Crap. I snatched it out almost imediatley, but it still got wet. I ran the truck for about another 20 min with no problems, then I was on a different obstacle and bumped chasis skid plate, not hard, but still bumped it and the truck stops. No foward, no reverse, no steering. Went home and stripped the electronics off the truck and put them in a bag of rice. (hey, its worked for my ipod touch before)
So this is what its doing now. When I plu it in, the light on the ESC will blink like its not getting signal from the rx. The esc is also getting REALLY hot without the truck even moving. The 645mg servo and the motors seem to be ok.
I have no idea what im looking for in electronics. Id like to keep things simple so an ESC with a built in break is a good thing. And this crawler is a MOA , and my ESC has 2 places for the motors to plug into. But the ones I was looking at only have one spot for the motor to plug in, Do I just run them in series? Parralel? I dont have a huge budget, so the cheaper the better. (If you have something used you want to get rid of, pm me!) I dont comp, its a "just for fun truck" Using 7.2 NiMh stick packs.
Sorry for my long post. Im ready to learn, about to dive into the serch bar. "thumbsup"
