brushed slash to brushless, no go...

[nickolay1982]

Hi,
I have upgraded brushed slash to brushless and it was great for first 5 minutes then throttle disappeared, esc started blinking fast red light.. called traxxas was told overheated/burned although used only one stock battery. So, they send me fresh set up. I put it in and nothing happens except blinking fast red light. Although I am able to program esc, turn LVA on/off. Using fully charged Ni and Li batteries makes no difference. Traxxas told me to check voltage o batteries as they think fast blinking red indicates over voltage. What do you guys think? I am new to this hobby and have no clue. Oh, I was running Ni battery underwater few times..
Thanks,
Nick

Does you steering work normal?

[Jimmie Neutron]

That'd be my guess too.
Weird electrical issues usually turn out to be the servo... even if it works.

why were you running a battery undwerwater?

[nickolay1982]

Nope, no steering but slight wheel spin is there if LVA is being turned off/on.
My 4 yo could not keep it away from the lake )) and it worked under water while still stock and brushed. I wont be submerging brushless underwater as i heard they don't do well at all. Thank you!
