    Bad ESC???

    I recently traded my two old non-running nitro cars for a slash. I was driving it after I got it and it started acting up on me. I wasn't driving it long, no more than 5minutes, then it just stopped moving. It turns fine, the motor just isn't turning anymore. When I go to turn the truck on it beeps and flashes like usual, then stops and just flashes green and yellow. I'm not sure how to re program this esc because it has the castle esc and castle brushless motor. My question is what is goin on with my truck and why won't it drive?

    You should get a castle link and check the programing first off just to make sure its set properly for whatever bat your running. Check the wires and solder joints etc. Recalibrate the endpoints for the throttle to the esc. The castle isn't water proof so if you got it wet could be something with that. Good luck.

    You can call castles tech help line and they'll figure it out. It sounds like you need to re-program the esc.

    Or, you can google the esc instruction manual to fix it today.

    Yes, CALL Castles support line. Calling works better than their e-mail system.
