Try unplugging the motor and then turn it on.

Hard to tell, but are those black spots on the white signal wire just residue or is the wire nicked/crimped?

The Hexfly8 is a Redcat RTR ESC, Hobbywing Max8 rebranded, and the reciever is a Radiolink reciever.

Okay, thanks! Hope you beat your PB. I want to get into speedrunning, I just know I don't and won't have the money for it by reading through the speedrun section and build threads. Good luck!

Ok been wondering where that tower is lol was about to message ya and see if it got sent and lost or something. Good luck bro! We both got back to having smooth running rigs again, well until @jondilly1974 fried his 1717, and we're taking advantage and making the best of it. Just geared up a couple teeth as last 3 passes at 144, 142 and 142 haven't even seen over 360A!! Hoping to see 1-2mph per tooth so next pass hoping will be about 146-148mph

@K-BASH, this is what red cat recommends when there are no lights.

I think i'll pass for now, even if it's a deal, I need to be saving my money for a real car. Thanks though! Like my dad says, "There will always be good deals"

Damn he's gonna leave us both in the dust.if he can make clean passes he's gone,he'll be chasing phildog next spring.56mm are the speedrun future.i haven't been able to control it yet.

We'll see soon enough I guess. Just hoping like the MEXB he doesn't have issues and not be able to get back to PB passes.
