My axial scx10 seems to wigg out with whatever radio I put in it. Today I found one that it didn't do it with. Then it started it. You know turning stopping going. Having a mind of itsown. Then I discovered that if I putmy hand between it and my remote the light will stop flickering and the car will work fine till I turn it off. Them when I turn it back on I gotta put my hand between it. Sometimes the light will stay solid till I turn either the remote or the car off sometimes it won't.

for whatever reason it won't stay blinded... I've tried this with 4 exceed 2.4 ghz remotes and 1 axial ax3

So for some reason I remember reading to turn the controller on first then the car. So I tried it about 20 times and it binds and stays bound. If I turn he car on hen the remote it blinks till it put my hand on it.

It sounds like you have an electrical problem. :icon_thumby:



They have five different things in the manual for "no control" everything from batteries to antennea to a crystal out of alignment. You might check that out.

You had ESC problems awhile ago, sure you didn't overheat it when you soldered in the new one?

You have tried enough remotes (known good I assume) that you could rule it out, I would pick on the antennea, receiver or esc.

Uhh stock scx10 servo and Idk what bec is. It worked flawless all day then I brought it in charged the battery and plugged it in. No beeps from the brand new esc. Have literally only played with it for 30 mins. The wheels turn. If I pull the trigger the esc lights up. But does nothing.

Brushed motor? If it is brushed just disconnect the motor leads and bump them off the battery connectors. It should spin, its possible for a brushed motor to go out after only a few minutes if you got a lemon. A Bec is a battery elimination circuit. Basically levels out the dips and spikes in current. Helps with feed back from large digital servos especially

Most likely the same manual that they have used for a few years. 2.4 is a digital synchronization

So what happened was the factory solder came off and the contacts weren't touch on the positive cable. Took it soldered it back on. In business now. Scared the crap out of me when I first turned over the 27t with the battery.
