Alright I had my Traxxas Velenion 3s ESC crap out on me a couple weeks ago. So I sent it to Traxxas they fixed it for 20 bucks and it was all good. But just yesterday it reversed my steering for no reason so I had to reset it. Then it cut power, so I had to turn it back on, and then it went full throttle for a second or two by itself after driving it for a minute. Does this happen to any of you? I am just worried I will have to get another ESC which would make me real unhappy because I just got another one not long ago.

That's probably not the ESC. It's the TX/RX if your steering is getting reversed I would think. I don't see any way the ESC could possibly reverse the polarity of the BEC back to the receiver and somehow causing the steering to be reversed.
Some like R/C's that are fast, others like nitro

Ya that could be possible but it still doesn't explain when it went WOT.

It's not the esc. The esc cannot reverse anything with the radio system. It's 100% the transmitter that's causing the problem.
