Hello All! My old OFNA MBX truggy XTM 24.7 motor is cooked.
I located a mount and purchased a brushless ESC / Motor
I'm using an old KO Propo radio and Nova receiver.
When I turn it on the steering works and the motor seems to rev fine for a few seconds then goes to a single speed until I cycle the system and then it does the same thing again.
Could it be that my radio/receiver are just not compatible with the brushless system?
