Kraton Kraton stopped working

[Beastmode71!]

I am beyond frustrated! My Kraton 6S V5 just stopped working. You turn it on and after it cycles through when you hit the gas it gives a quick burst then restarts. The servo sounds like it is struggling when I turn it which also makes it restart. I called Horizon Hobby and they sent me a new ESC but it is still doing the exact same thing! I’m ready to punt this thing but I loved it when it worked. Anyone have this issue and know a fix?

Try disconnecting the steering servo from receiver and see if throttle works and doesn't restart. If yes the servo is bad, the original ESC may still be good.

This. These Spektrum servos going bad seem to cause excessive current draw and causes the ESC to reset.

Bingo....it is/was the servo. Once I disconnected it...everything else works great! Thank you so much!!!
