Ok, I'm having some problems with the mamba max esc and 5700 motor in my e-firestorm.
I can't remember if I had a prang when I last used it or not. I thougth I had a dead battery, but it seems that isn't the case.
so, turn it on, and the reciever doesn't seem to be getting power (gets it from the esc). No drive or steering.
reciever works if I plug in an aux battery pack. and the mamba max doesn't initiate until it gets a signal. and the motor gets no volts unless it gets a signal from the esc. Steering works with the pack plugged in, and the motor tries to go forward, but it's like it's only getting power from the aa batteries, not the main battery.
take out the aux power pack (4x AA reciever pack) and the reciever looses power. no steering again and the light on the RX goes out.
soldering on the esc looks fine, switch should be fine, btu it's soldered in and I can't swap it easily.
Any other suggestions as to what to test? I've not had a chance to drag out the multimeter just yet. I'll try on a third battery tonight as well.
