strange problem...

Sometimes when I'm driving my MT, it will stop cold for no reason at all. The battery is usually charged and all ESC lights are on. The radio batteries are fine as well. However, when I go in reverse and go forward again, it will respond fine.

Any insight on what's happening?

Sounds like a motor brush might be hanging up. Have you serviced the motor, or if it's a sealed type have you tried another motor?

Well the motor is actually brand new stocker. The metal part where the pinion attaches to broke off on original one.

you might want to check connections to the motor.....you never know you might just have gotten a bum one, def try another motor out just in case.

Now all you need to do is try another motor......Make sure that all your pins on the tab that go into the rx are all in......sometimes if ones keep changing there setup around the little pins dont go all the way in causing a weak connection.
