I got my first proper RC car last month, which was a Granite BLX.
I have been running it in snow about -2 to -5C. It was running good for a solid week, and then I had problems with the ESC, it was blinking red and I had no throttle or steer even though I had a fully charged battery. I left it for a night and then I tried again, the problem was somewhat gone, but then I reset the ESC and it started cogging so bad it wouldn't go over 5km/h. I took it to my hobby shop and they swapped the ESC to a Hobbywing EZRUN max 10sct and while I was there I decided to also buy paddle tires to the rear. the problem was gone, but after a day the motor and ESC started to overheat even on 50% power. I can't figure out the problem. Would there be any other solution to this than changing the pinion gear to a smaller one? HELP.
