2013 mojave

[Stevebrock]

Hi new to rc cars.
We have a 2013 maybe mojave and it works fine when the wheels are lifted of the ground but when placed on the ground the car just surges. Has a good charged battery and put another motor in it but still happening any ideas?

I had an rc do that just last week...it would surge just like you said...it noticed the esc was flashing..swapped out recivers...still fkashed....strange..i replaced the esc with some hobby wing esc...all works perectly again...it suspect that the so called waterproof esc still managed to get water in it..or somehow get damaged...

swap out another esc if you have one...or swap another reciever ...just to see if you can zero in on the problem...
