Hello all,
I am new to the forum and have an issue with my Kraton 8s. I purchased it new and have only taken it out a handful of times. I have a stock setup apart from a 22T pinion gear as it seemed too slow straight out the box. When I ran it this afternoon it cut out and after removing the body shell I noticed the cooling fan wires had both pulled out! The red light was blinking. So after allowing it to cool off fully, I turned it back on and now the motor is spontaneously firing up on its own with no input from the remote control. The power is blipping from nothing up to around 30 percent throttle. The steering servo also appears to have very little power compared to normal. The batteries are charged so nothing silly there.. am I looking at a fried esc?
everything is plugged in and now fans are back working but I’m worried the heat has taken its toll on the esc. any input would be appreciated.
Kind regards.
Dave.
