Hello everyone,
I recently picked up a Slash 4x4 VXL with an older Velineon VXL-3s system in it. I dropped in my "modern" Traxxas TQ receiver and calibrated the ESC endpoints, and everything seems to function as intended. However, I noticed that if the ESC cable comes loose from the receiver, the ESC sporadically goes into full throttle mode. Is this normal/expected behavior of this ESC? Is it possible I just have a bad ESC and will need to replace it?
To me, it seems the "fail safe" behavior should be to cut throttle when signal is lost, not go WOT
The ESC and servo plugs seem pretty loose. While this truck is in great condition from barely being used, I can tell the wires are fairly brittle and the tires are hard. Definitely experiencing the effects of "old age"
