handles great.. i just need another esc.. i think i burned the one i have,, batts went low in the tx and the car just ran until it stopped.. so i think the esc is out.. but the servo still works.. so im not too sure.. i just know the light doesnt come on in the esc..

the only problem i have out of the thing is traction rolling.. the lil "s" section after the straight is really bad.. large footprints and dips and such.. not made for a mini.. i said this to say.. i have really no problems with it at all..

next esc will be a xrs novak or another v3r if i can find one..

I have a buddy thats selling a GM v3r, used.....and he also has another GM as well but it doesnt have reverse....just let me know so i can have him contact you buddy. And how in the world did you burn up the esc.....

my guess is . that when the car took off (tx batts went dead) the car was at WOT way too long,,, i couldnt remove the body to turn it off.. and since the motor is timed for higher rpm,, it must have cooked something.. but i still have to find out if it is the esc or not.. i need to plug another motor to it.. i just know the light wont come on


something told me not to run it with low batts

But i thought you were using a 10th scale esc......if not then what esc were you using.:confused:

the v3r gm racing... even with the small 380 motor timed.... the es still got a lil hot.. but i dont know what caused the lil light to go out and not turn the motor.. but the servo still works..

well it tuned out the esc was fine... the rx was trashed.. dont know how,, but i guess when the tx went dead the car taking off and slamming head first into the wall.. caused something to happen to the rx.. all is good now,, i put a mtroniks 11t esc in it.. i know a lil overkill,, but we wil see.. also i changed the gearing to 13/45.. hopefully this will keep things cool.. and also allow me to clear the tougher jumps..

Im glad you found the problem man, so did the crystal get damaged or what-or was the whole rx bad.

dont know... guessing bad signal to the esc.. because the servo worked fine... but when i plugged in a airtronics rx.. everything worked great..
