Thank you Mark!!! I've been out of the RC hobby for 20 years. Decided to buy a mini e Revo off Amazon. Was waiting for me when I got home from camping. First problem was stupid. I forgot to turn the controller on 🤣🤦♂️. 2nd, I'm old and of course the NiMH packs are dead. Sticker attached to the ESC said lipo cutoff was disabled. It was not. Thank you for helping this aging old geezer out!! Got brushless coming for me and a losi mini t 2.0 This one I bought for my nephew. He's only 6. No idea how fast this thing is. I don't have a car so I can't charge the packs. Bummer 😕 and the hobby store here is "closed for the summer".... Bunch of bs imo but whatever. Lol Anyway thanks again bro. Hope you're doing well!
Merry Christmas. Love the ones you have and remember the ones you lost. May this year be remembered as the hardest test this generation had faced and also the year we learned that love is all we need.
Hey dude, thanks for making the intro to this hobby very welcoming!! The first thing I searched for was sc racing and your channel popped up. That was six months ago and I've been hooked ever since. Merry Christmas to you and your family, look forward to more awesomeness in the new year! 🤘👊🤙🔥
OMG man You are like a lifesaver that help me out I was using a Lipo battery with the speed control and I put the NIMH Battery and it was only steering but not accelerating this made it work thank you so much.
Great video Mark! Its funny, I got my grandson that exact Rustler for Christmas for his first "hobby grade" RC, and it was in lipo cut off mode out of the box.
Merry Christmas. Thank you for all of your videos. You have gotten me back into the hobby and now with me having 4 boys I am getting them into it as well. But dang has this hobby gotten expensive.
Hey bro my traxxas just turns green and then red and then it turns off I followed all the steps but nothing works it’s my first traxxas and I have a Nimh battery
Car would not run, thought the batteries in my controller were still in good shape but I was wrong, put a new set in the controller, works like a charm.
Great video, that was my exact problem yesterday, wheels would turn left and right, but no throttle forward or back. ESC was flashing and I had no idea what the issue was, I had it accidentally set in Lipo mode while using NimH battery.
Hey Mark! I ran into this about a month ago with one of my used Slash 2wds I picked up running fine and then went to run it and the light show first red then tried it then switched to green nothing just flashing? Just by chance I took the motor leads apart at the connections and put them to the battery direct and nothing happened! Bad motor! Great tips and videos and content!🤔😉👍
6:20 thanks saved me .... I have 2, one was not going backwards and solid red, other was not going backwards and forwards, blinking red green, this normal mode fixed it - CHEERS!
common problem with traxxas... ill stick with my arrma's never owned a traxxas so i can't down or diss em would love to try a traxxas eventually i also love how on arrmas spectrum remote you have a switch for 50/75/100 speed and on the nihm/lipo cars/trucks there is a pin and you just move it over. if i ever get a traxxas itll be a xmaxx
*_Problem:_* This is for the VXL-3S. I do the setup routine on my Slash, hold the button down - it goes green then it goes solid red, I let go of the button and it blinks red once, I push the throttle to full forward. So far so good. But then the light goes out *_and stays out._* The system is still on because the radio receiver LED is still on and the steering works. If I push the button again once, the ESC (and radio) turn off. Nothing will make the motor run. It was running the last time I used it about 3 years ago. The steering works so the transmitter is bound to the car. If I hold down the ESC button starting from off mode and keep holding it down it eventually starts flashing 1 red, 2 red, 3 red and then repeats the sequence. Looks like some sort of alarm code but it's not mentioned anywhere I can find. *_I wrote to Traxxas and they didn't even reply._*
Hey! I’m having troubles with my bandit...WHEJ I press the button to turn on it flashes green and the esc does not have any lights that pop up..it would be amazing of you to maybe help me out by letting me know what you think is going on..
Hey question? I have one of those Amazon Soyee blue 1:10 trucks, when I turn the remote on, then try to turn truck on it blinks and shuts off. Remote stays on but truck shuts off with blinking light. Even tried holding button down on truck stays on but dies. Batteries fully charged as well.
I do have a question don’t know if you will respond but I got. A new battery for Christmas and I tryed a lip battery a long time and it wouldn’t work so I got a new one and it ran but then I used my old charge and it barely started flashing red light on the charger well I was charging it and then I tryed to use it and it ran and then turned red and mad the motor stall and make it go very slow
Thank you, you seriously took the misery 🤔🤔out of understanding this pretty simple process!!!👌👌 The instructions as most instructions do, suck,😡😡 and who wants to call an 800 if you don't have to!!! 👌👌👍👍✌✌😁😁
I almost missed the notification!! Glad I didn’t! Merry Christmas! Can you get the SBR 2.0? I wanna see a competition of both. I’ve seen one, but I wanna see more! Especially from you!!
I got a arrma Notorious (v5) today it’s big and it my first arrma love it already but my the battery is the wrong connector but we are getting it sorted out
I have a jada RC truck and I think the battery speed working. When I charge the car the green light flashes and then goes steady. However when I switch it on the green light goes on and immediately off when I switch it on... is my assumption correct regarding the defective battery?
Hi Mark. I have a wireless rc not responding to my mower. The receiver off the mower is blinking green but rc not responding. Any suggestion. The rc mower is from china. Thanks
I have the Rustler 4x4 and it will not work at all with a NiMH battery and when I plug it up it has a flashing red and green light. Any idea on how to fix it? Thanks.
I purchased a used rustler with full xl5 electronics (no radio) and when trying to bind to a radio I already had the receiver fast blinks red and it wont bind? Any suggestions?
My car won’t move forward or backward ! Whats the problem, how to know if the receiver box is no longer working even though it’s solid green and looks ok. but last time after bashing and crawling the receiver box had a very strong smell like sth is burning ! But when i opened it nothing seemed to be happening ! And when i turn the car on both esc and receiver box turn solid green as there are no problems ! It is really weird !
I am having trouble connecting the speed controller to the radio on my brothers rc. Ive done mine rc and it was the same way you showed it for the NiMH but with my brothers rc when i try to hold the ez button green then red i let go it blinks once and i pull full throttle but it doesn't blink twice
Hey dude you said youbcan hook the motor directly to the battery so I'm like cool I like to see the Orion brushless how much more torque it has of course I kept trying because it was just jumping a little bit 1/3 of a rotation then it stopped doing anything. Did I fuck up my new motor
I lost tons of speed on my Traxxas, E-max. I'd do immediate wheelie's and now it just don't pick up but 2 inches off the ground. Not sure if I need to adjust my controller settings or what? I mean it was hitting 60 mph easy. It's probably at 45mph. What advise can you give me?
hey if you see this, pleeeeeeease read this, i got a new lipo battery for my 2x2 traxxis slash and i turn on the remote then plug the battery in and turn the car on, but the light starts flashing green AND red and you cant drive, but you can turn, pleeeease answer i had this problem for a while, and i just bought the battery, pls respond
I know this an old video. Im having a issue that just come about. I put a fresh motor in my mudboss. And now after maybe 2 mins of driving it goes into low voltage. Fresh charge on battery get about 2 mins then does it again. Any ideas?
Hey man i need help please reply as fast as you can if you can but every time I charge my traxxas LIPO charger my charging station thingy keeps beeping and makeing a loud beep sound one time and it doesnt let me change anything all it does is stay on 3A blinking
Hey Mark quick question please help me I have a TRX four and I use a 2 cell sell non-tracxxas battery lipo And after a few minutes of driving it will slow down and they will have a red blinking light and to fix this I just unplug the battery plug it back in turn it on and it performs like normal until the battery dies please help me I have no idea what is going on
What happens if my xl5 esc won’t turn on when you press the button like it normally should do. it only turns on when you power the receiver with a 6v battery
Ive needed to look this up several times before and i probably will again, now i know where to go, and Merry Christmas everyone!
Merry Christmas 🎁🤣🤣🤣

Merry Christmas. Love the ones you have and remember the ones you lost. May this year be remembered as the hardest test this generation had faced and also the year we learned that love is all we need.
Thumbs up for the "Battery straight to the motor" idea. I love trouble shooting solutions like that....
Thank you for posting this video, saved me from replacing a whole bunch of parts I didn’t need!
Hey dude, thanks for making the intro to this hobby very welcoming!! The first thing I searched for was sc racing and your channel popped up. That was six months ago and I've been hooked ever since. Merry Christmas to you and your family, look forward to more awesomeness in the new year! 🤘👊🤙🔥
You are very welcome sir! Merry Christmas!
Yoo
Yo, I need help. It’s emergency.
I got me a Traxxas something is wrong with my car.esc xl 5 ez set
OMG man You are like a lifesaver that help me out I was using a Lipo battery with the speed control and I put the NIMH Battery and it was only steering but not accelerating this made it work thank you so much.
Nice an early release video. Merry Christmas everyone. Hopefully I can catch the live
Also when the tires shake like that, I’ve found massaging the foam in the low and high spots around the tires will help balance it out. Nice vid bro.
Merry Christmas Mark and everyone..stay blessed and safe 🙏
Great video Mark! Its funny, I got my grandson that exact Rustler for Christmas for his first "hobby grade" RC, and it was in lipo cut off mode out of the box.
All the questions I had answered in one video! Thanks!

Mine to
Too bad you're having trouble, Mark. I have bought Traxxas stuff before and had nothing but trouble, and now I hate Traxxas!
Love the vids I got an axial SCX24 and I though crawling would be boring if u do not have the axial SCX24 get it, it is a great indoor Crawler
I like my c10 but I wish there was like a rapter even thought its not really a "Crawler"
I got a rustler VXL and a bandit Xl5
You helped me fix my Rustler. I was terrified because it wouldn't respond and the remote needed to be re-paired
I even got the Traxxas rustler for Christmas and it’s 2wd
Love the video. Wouldn't mind winning the Rustler for sure
Merry Christmas Mark and all the RC buffs
From my family to yours Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to u and you're family mark 🎊👌👍
Excellent content. Great tutorial for the beginner rc enthusiast. Thank You 🙏🏽 for sharing
Brilliant video idea Mark! Training/sport mode works great for letting that special someone "try it out" 😆
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
