    Question truck won't stop

    OK, after a pretty hard flip I could hear a grinding noise as my pede was on it's side. I could see that the wheels were trying to turn, but I was not even touching the trigger. When I set it upright, it would slowly move on it's own - not necessarily continuosly, but intermittently, just a little at a time.

    Everything is still stock at this point, and I'm pretty new to this, so I don't really know where to start. Any thoughts?

    Thanks in advance.

    Do you still have control of the throttle? It sounds like your throttle trim is a tad out of adjustment, there's a little dial at the top of the transmitter marked something like "throttle trim" or "ch. 2 trim", I forget which. Turn it back and forth until the truck doesn't move and the ESC doesn't hum when the truck is stationary. This should be covered in the manual.

    Welcome to the forums.

    Or if it was a hard enough hit,it could have bumped the ESC's neutrel pot.
    If your trim on the transmitter is ok then you may have too go too the ESC,now Im presuming you have the XL-1,if so,use a small straight tipped screwdriver and adjust the Neutrel pot back too 0 or where it does not hmmm while stationary,but I think you may have just bumped the trim knob on the transmitter,lord knows they are big enough on the TQ2 .
