so i bought my slash about a week ago from rcplanet.com....i drove it stock for a couple days then i went and bought a castle sidewinder and WOW this thing is fast

last night i was driving it and i hit a tennis ball size rock(it hit the front bumper,and not even going fast) after that the throttle wasn't working but steering was, so i tried to hook my stock motor,esc back up to see if i messed up my new motor but its still not working...i went to the hobby shop and bought a new battery to see if i messed that up and still nothing on either motor

so im thinking the channel 2 went out on my receiver, because the castle esc blinks all three lights when i turn it on and from what ive read that means its not getting a signal

What do i do???the truck is less then a week old so i don't feel i should have to replace the receiver should i call traxxas ?

thats a good idea....well i just called traxxas to see if they can help , but im at work right now so they told me to call them back when im around the truck

i have a buddy who knows alot about electric rc and he tryed messing with it with no luck....hopefully it gets going again soon cuz that cc sw motor is too much fun and ive only got to use it for like 10 mins haha
