Well, some probably recall that one fried before (but it turns out it was just a bad solder joint - fixed that and its in my G2R doing great).

But while running with MetalMan today...all of a sudden my ESC started cogging VERY badly. Then, when I turned it off and turn it back on, all it did was flash all 3 lights, and now it just wont turn on.

Any ideas?

May sound stupid, but did you check the switch? That could be a reason for it to not come on. Not sure about the 3 flashing lights though.

Yeah, the switch is there.

Ok, I got it working, sort of. It turns out there was a bit of water in my Spektrum that was causing some very weird problems. It apparently wasn't giving the proper signals to the ESC so it would never arm. However, the steering servo worked. Anyway, I opened up the receiver and blew it out and got the ESC to arm and motor to spool...

Now, it appears I have VERY weak breaks. I am going to reprogram to see. I'm thinking that maybe its a little moisture in the ESC thats causing a little problems. We will see. I will wait until tomorrow, reprogram, and try running it. If there are any issues, I'll email Joe.
