    Excellent video, helped me out greatly. I just got a Losi truck and right out of box the red light was blinking but the tires did turn and then it just took off on its own but I caught it before any damage occurred. It then did no throttle movement, just steer. This confused and frustrated me until I came across your video and I saw the throttle trim was turned up to the max from the factory so I adjusted it to the middle and started the rc up again then all the lights turned green and the truck operated normally. You saved me a lot of time and frustration. Thank you very much!

  • @phw340
    @phw340 Год назад

    Thanks for the video! I just picked up a new RC car and all of a sudden the throttle died on me but the steering worked. I substituted a different receiver, thinking maybe the ESC or receiver burnt out but then the ESC worked and so did the receiver so I was really confused and that’s when I noticed a blinking red light which I thought was really weird. I didn’t touch anything and then I started to get my throttle back. I did a Google search and found this video and it makes sense how you explained it. I believe when I was driving it around the other day I did have the throttle trim, turned up because I was playing around with it to see what it did. Thanks so much for explaining it and the little red, blinking light is no longer there! Thank you!

    Just today my ARRMA INFRACTION's ESC is blinking red, no throttle response, but there's steering. I googled the problem and that led me to your video. I saw that my throttle trim was off-center, centered it, and my throttle was back and I was rocking again. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

    Hi Razor, my power lead to my esc broke yesterday. So after re-souldering the wire, I powered up. Red light of death, I had steering but no drive. Searched your video's and yep you had the answer. It's now fixed. Thank you so very much you saved me £85.00 in the UK. Not sure how long my soulder will last though. Ha. Thank you so much. John

  • @profjimbo5929
    @profjimbo5929 2 года назад

    I was installing a new Holmes TorqueMaster Expert 550 21t motor in my TRX4 Sport to increases its drag brake efficiency. Initially only the steering worked after the motor swap. Checked all the wiring and made sure the bullet connectors were in tight. Well that seemed to fix the issue, except I wanted to adjust the forward trigger to engage sooner, so I recalibrated the 1080 ESC… and then nothing worked!!! I was at my wits end. I let the vehicle set for a couple days, and then went back to check all my GT5 Transmitter settings. It seems that somewhere I had changed the model selection to the wrong model!
    P.S. the drag brake on the new Holmes motor is phenomenal both in forward and reverse 😎

    Thank you Razor RC! Was out in the field and had combed through solutions and this video was what had done it for me! For others who are glancing comments:
    PROBLEM: Red blinking light on ESC on Arrma Kraton 6s V5 upon starting up. No acceleration/reverse but steering worked fine.
    SOLUTION: adjusting steering nob from strong reverse to default as seen here 1:53 . Ran perfectly fine right after

  • @BillCranford

    My kraton 6s had this issue. It was partially cut wiring, the 3 wire from esc to radio receiver. Factory routed the wiring under the esc mount, that’s where the wiring was damaged.

    great vid. Question if my truck is running and I noticed the red light will blink after running really fast on 5200mAH 80C zeee battery heavy throttle the car will slow down and no real power everything works, I thought that would be LVC or is the red blinking light telling me to let truck cool down. I check the battery and it says for average 3 cells 3.94. I am looked at manual and no mention in trouble shooting of a red blinking light if truck is to hot or ESC is to hot, Just wondering if you have an opinion on this and great vid. I forgot about all the o rings and the cartridge inside,
