Max 6 bad? Or no?

[TaxpayerTroy]

Hello,
I was just running and then my car stopped. When I turn it on it just coggs and then it just makes a noise. I have recalibrated etc. please let me know! Happy Memorial Day!

Check connection between motor and ESC, sounds like a bad solder joint.

Motor wires to esc are clean. Esc wires are soldered for trx connectors I’ll check rn. Thx

All connections are solid

Can you unplug your fans so we can actually hear the issue?

If you can do the video again, this time keep it on the esc so we can see the entire led light cycle

The lights matter and help trouble shoot

Can it be warrantied? HW warranties suck donkey balls but they WILL offer you a half or reduced price one..

Hence, my earlier recommendation to check the wires. If they are good, your last hope is a bad motor but highly unlikely. Bad ESC is the only thing left after that.
Just because your wires look pretty, check the solder joints regardless, or test them with a different motor.

Also squeeze the wires along their lengths. Sometimes there are problems that the insulation hides. Had that happen with a wire in my BLX100.

I buy through Amazon but it’s been past a month. I’ll just buy another and refund this one teehee

Wires are clean. I stripped them of covering etc and solder is clean

In the video yes. But it beeps 6 times green like it should and turns red when I hit the throttle

Doesn't matter where you bought it. If you have a receipt you can warranty it. Try it. I'm betting they decline. But they WILL offer another cheaper fo replace. If you are in the States, it's worthwhile. If not, may as well buy another. Ask me how I know.

I’ve spent hours trying to see what the issue is with wires solder recalibration etc. it’s toast

I tried with the max 8 g2 and it sucked. I’ll just get another one from Amazon and refund the burnt one
