Arrma RC's
It's happened twice now. I will run my Kraton in wet conditions, and sometimes the truck will simply stop moving (servo still works, esc fan still running) I am not sure what the issue is. The esc will just flash green (slowly) After I put the truck away for the night, the esc will usually go back to normal. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Did you calibrate your controller to your ESC? I'm referring to neutral, full throttle, full reverse calibration on page 27 under throttle setup, bottom part of page. This has fixed glitches I was having with both Kraton and Outcast. Also, make sure to always turn controller on before ESC, shutdown ESC then controller. Never had this issue with other rigs or Castle systems, but seems to matter with stock Arrma electronics.
 
I will look into the radio/reviever setup you speak of. Hopefully that will calibrate my radio and my esc... I really don't want to have a faulty esc! But, it is what it is.

So I tried everything and I still can't get it to work... on the phone with Arrma now.

Sorry bro, hope you get it worked out or replaced free of charge by Arrma. At least it didn't burst into flames like Warbux's did a few weeks back. Let me know the resolution, I'm curious what's up. You're going to have to sneak some bashes in with the Outcast now!!!

Motocross is pretty intense. Everytime I ride my dirtbikes I bring the RC's as well! Im sending the ESC into Arrma tomorrow. I have never shipped anything before... so Anna is going to help me out haha.

Sorry you have to deal with that bro. Hopefully it's a quick turnaround and problem gets resolved soon. Version 2 stock electronics have been pretty solid from everything I've heard and experienced personally. Hopefully this was a fluke. Enjoy that Outcast in the meantime!

They sent mine back saying it was not defective.... I re-install and program everything to have it do the same thing 10mins into the first run. Un-plugged and re-plugged the battery and it lasted the rest of the pack. I will let you guy know if it happens again on the next run. Really annoying because my Outcast has never done this... although my Outcast did just strip its steering servo. Really great full for the 2 year warranty!!
 
Just had a new esc in the post,my original one works again for the time being, I ran two 4s packs the other day without a hiccup. My outcast never skipped a beat until after I ran it on 3s with my kid.
Hope you sort it out soon yz
My outcast esc has been great as well.
 
My esc flashes red and gives power to motor on start but fan not spinning and servo not responding or centering and throttle not responding ....if i connect fan to battery it starts spinning....the swedish support were not very helpful cause i ordered it from modelsport.co.uk so they started arguing with me and they told me to call england, will call their main support tomorrow....
