Looking for a little advice. I think my ESC is toast.
I had the xmaxx 8s for just about two years. I don't use it much, but it's a blast when I do. I'd guess I only have about 10 hours on it and now the ESC looks to be fried. All the lights are on (Steers, but no forward/reverse and won't power down unless I unplug the batteries). Owner's Manual says contact traxxas support (that's not good). I sent in an email, but no reply. I'll call tomorrow.
Being two years old, I doubt they will warranty it. It's a $250 part. Seems like a common thing to go bad based on the number of complaints on the internet. Anybody have to replace theirs? Will it just go bad again?
It's a fun truck, but I'll be getting close to $2k in this thing with this part (and two sets off batteries, chargers and a blown out tire) . Not sure it's that fun.
