Today my car went full speed speed but luckly i was on my top no matter what i did with my radio the car was only going full speed. So i started to inspect and i thought my esc was dead beacause it unglued from the double sided tape. So after it started working again but it was braking and accelerating rendomly when landing a small jump.. i was so sad i wanted to cry because my issues never end i bended my hot racing motor moutn on my first jumps and my bearing carrier flew off never found it. So after i thought it might be a short somewhere because the fans would stop working completly when the car becomes unreponsive so i removed the motor fan and i saw bare wire i shorted them on purpose and as expected the esc started blinking red meaning it was giving throtle to the car(i unpluged the motor) i removed the motor fan and it started to work normally . So guy check your motor fans because they come out of the factory with bare wire exposed

Yeah, i always put shoegoo in the depression on the side of the fan and on the tips of the wires under the sticker to make sure they don't fail.

My motor was not hot enought to burn me when i was running without the fan so i might unplug it when im arround people
