ESC Junk????

[Phins Fan]

I was attempting to repair my oldest sons Evader ext and seem to be having a problem with the ESC. It would work (occasionally) but only reversed. Its not the reversing switch on the controller. I even went as far as to switch motors out and same thing. Any starting point I can look at?

I usually just start swapping out parts for known good ones for testing purposes until I track down the piece that is malfunctioning.

I started with the motor as I have plenty of brushed 1's lying around. I swapped the motor and had instant power. Problem was I didnt really benchtest it and reassembled completely just to see that it only worked backwards (reversed) I hit the switch on the TX and it got worse so I switched it back. He has a LRP ESC so I switched it for a XL5 I had lying around and it appears the XL5 is junk to cause it does the same thing..........................??

We fixed it while you were out. Glad we could help. You're almost out of beer.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!! I appreciate the ribbing but really want to know what happened. While I dont hate them obviously this is why I prefer nitro to electric. Theres 3 basics to running. It seems electric has many more unexplainable variables.....

I'm guessing it was just a reset or a rebinding....or the ghost of ESC past.
