the ESC might need to be reset and recalibrated with the handset

Hi thanks for the reply everyone..

Ok i have an update..

I forgot to say what batteries im using im using 7.2 V NIMH battery packs.. I have found out something..

I charged the batteries 100% and the rc car works
but only for 1 min or so then it goes back to slow and then drives then stops then drives then stops

But the first minute it drives so quick. just like i want it.




Some people said something about low voltage ,. what is that does it mean im getting out of battery?

The esc might be set up for a different battery type and doesn't recognise the flow of current from your battery pack

I wasn't suggesting buying a new car, just some cheap new electrics.. however there should be a reset button on your esc that should set the esc back to basic settings.. have you tried that?

the car wont get wrecked by disabling the low voltage cut off.. the battery will as the cut off prevents to much discharge of the cells of the battery

Ok someone advised me to do the following


__________________________________________________ _________
1st off to connect the programming card you need to unplug the ESC from the receiver
plug the ESC's plug into the right hand side spot on top of the card (well at least on mine which is a V2) The symbols where you plug it in should be a circle with a -, a circle with a +, and the final one should look like a squared off capital U (its actually the symbol for square wave, but thats not important here) The black wire on the plug coming off the ESC should goto the -, and the white to the square U symbol.
Once that is done turn the ESC on
(again these are for the V2)
Press the item button till the item # says 3
then press the value button till value says 1
after that press the OK button
then turn the ESC off, reconnect it to the receiver
__________________________________________________ _____

I did it all and it still didnt work check what the video i made for you guys to watch and hopefully help
