My friend you are the man, I was so so so worried. But I followed the steps that you showed and my Xmaxx is now working again. Thank you very much, much appreciated.
Thank you also I thought I had a lemon to second time taking it out steering worked but no throttle I did this and everything worked great really appreciate the video
Jason Williams nice job always good to do some research I was mad when mines went down I left the controller on truck off for whole day and it lost communication
You could hear if a drive shaft is broken you hear the motor spinning etc why would you thinks its broken even if your motor is not spinning where is your comon sense mate wtf
Bru Bru try again mane it wasent correct It did take me few try the first time u did u can also put the receiver in to bring mode open the box to get to recieved box
I don’t understand, I already calibrated mine, it’s just been 2 1/2 weeks, everything is stock except for new Duratrax Six Pack S tires which I calibrated for afterwards after putting them on. My XMAXX has only been running for 3 sessions until it started doing this after sitting for two weeks, batteries were in good health and taken care of when I was waiting for my tires. It drives then shuts off power and just makes a whining noise when I push on the throttle again. Not sure!
So I have a Max 5 that turns on and flashes but does not have any audible tones and all I have is steering and when I hit the throttle or reverse it just shakes the gears and doesn't move forward or backwards. This is in an outcast 8S with a Max 5 and 1250kv motor
Steven Golson try again it took me several attempts also make sure ur battery is full in controller and truck also zero out the setting on the controller
Mine the throttle randomly stop for 5 second and its works but the steering works fine while the throttle stop. Should a calibration fix this or need a new receiver or esc ? ????
Luke TheMaster17 check your steering trim ... dose the truck turn when it’s off the ground? I have had problems with servos some times they don’t work or take a hard hit the sensor goes off inside if u want u can try taking it apart and play with the sensor I will send u a link to one of the servo that didn’t work for me then I took it apart and played around with the sensor and it’s been working ever since
what does it mean if after the calibration it only will go forward. the light on the reciever flashes green when you pull trigger in reverse but it doesnt move. there something defective in the transmitter?
@@rcusa201 thank you very much for answering me, appreciate it. And yes i found out i burned the motor 🙃 now o have to upgrade and im so like lost and hesitate ! I duno what to choose 😑, if you can advice me with a good motor i’ll appreciate it 🥹
So my issue is its f flashing green but then when I turn the steering it starts it goes back to normal solid green but then when I hit the throttle a secondary red light comes on and it starts flashing also when i hit the throttle the motor is getting signal but it just like budges forward
I have the same problem but i habe the nitro 3.3 tho. After my run. All of the sudden it wont go forward or reverse. It wanted to run away but something is holding it. Any help much apreciated. Thanks
@@rcusa201 I honestly don’t know I’m kinda a nubbie but I tried calabrstion with my controller and it didn’t work I watched a video of this other guy And it wouldn’t work and now it won’t even let me turn and still can’t have throttle
I’m trying to fix an Xmaxx for a friend, I’m not very familiar with them however I’m wondering if the ESC is bad. I performed the steps you outlined here and the ESC responded as if it registered correctly. However anytime I pull the trigger the ESC immediately cuts out and shuts off. Any ideas?
Try cleaning all the connectors first the esc will cut of if there’s bad connections to protect it disconnect the wires from the motor and try it if it dosent shut off then it can be bad motor
MI. RC LIFE, Thx, I’ll check those things and let you know if I have any other questions. When I got his xmaxx, Day one, I turned it on to see what was going on with it and it ran but was only moving at like 3 mph. It only did that for a few minutes and then it all of a sudden got to that point where it stopped moving and when pulling the trigger the esc just cut off. So I almost feel like I might’ve fried some thing. Turns out the issue with why it was only going 3 miles an hour it was because one of the bearings inside of the motor exploded and jacked up the inside. So I was sort of forcing it to run. I’m hoping it’s a bad connector somewhere though. Oh… And the motor is brand new. Just arrived yesterday.
Well… It looks like I will have to buy a new ESC. Should I pick up another stock ESC, or should I switch to another brand like the hobby wing max 6? What are you running? If I pick up a hobby wing does that open up the options to adjust the punch setting for the X max?
I tried doing the thing then I hold it down until it turns red and i put my throttle all the way to the back and then my ecu it flashes red not green it’s not working help pls
Will this work on my rc ? I have a 10 scale hobao, hobbywing esc, and a srx200 shit wont move changed out motors but wont go. My bearing were fd up in my castle.
I used this it works but I'm sick and tired of my truck doing crap like this every single time I want to use it It will turn one way not the other, or only reverse, or completely reverses throttle, I press to go forward, it goes backwards, press to go back it goes forward. And it's straight up every single time I turn it on it does something. On my maxx the self righting feature doesn't work right it just blows up my tires, you can't go fast either or it blows its tires its ridiculous
It shouldn’t loose it’s binding and calibration call up Traxxas maybe they know the issue or warrnty u. I know if u leave transmitter on with truck off that’s when it goes crazy
UKVolticZ try this if it work or not other than that seems like esc is cutting off maybe ur motor went bad u can try disconnecting motor and press back and forward without motor see if it turns off if not then maybe somthing with motor
yeah some times you don't get what u paid for check out my video on the maxx it took off on be soon as I first powered it on and it got scratched up wasent calabrated to controller
I have the same problem. My reciever is flashing red very fast so i replaced it with new and the new one does the same thing. Did you ever find a fix for yours?
My friend you are the man, I was so so so worried. But I followed the steps that you showed and my Xmaxx is now working again. Thank you very much, much appreciated.
Thanks it worked! I got a little spooked when the wheels started going top speed, so anyone else make sure the wheels aren’t touching the ground!
Thank you also I thought I had a lemon to second time taking it out steering worked but no throttle I did this and everything worked great really appreciate the video
Jason Williams nice job always good to do some research I was mad when mines went down I left the controller on truck off for whole day and it lost communication
Definitely resolved my issue!! I was mad af til now... lol
Definitely solved mines haven’t touched my truck in a year
Lol i kno right.
Thank you so much for this. I honestly thought I had busted the drive shaft or something. I am very grateful you put this video out.
Good fix
@@rcusa201 mine wont flash twice any ideas
@@SHR0NK mine doesn’t have that button it’s a dif Rc I don’t know what I’m gonna do
You could hear if a drive shaft is broken you hear the motor spinning etc why would you thinks its broken even if your motor is not spinning where is your comon sense mate wtf
Thanks alot for posting this calibration video. It was exactly the problem with my stampede. You saved me some$
Ray Goffio nice yeah glad it helped I got ton of repairs and tutorial videos
Bru Bru calibrate it
Bru Bru try again mane it wasent correct
It did take me few try the first time u did u can also put the receiver in to bring mode open the box to get to recieved box
250$ for a new ESC for this thing, thats insane! Glad i came across this :)
Yeah I was going crazy when it happned to me I did some research and this worked for me
Mate you're a champion! Saved me from sending mine in for repairs...
Nice
I took me 3 hours to do until this video finally helped
yeah, I fell the same as the last comment great video very simple, and happy my truck is working.
This exact problem happened to me with 1/16th e revo, however recalibrating didn’t work so I’m still stuck.
Did u check to see power voltage
I don’t understand, I already calibrated mine, it’s just been 2 1/2 weeks, everything is stock except for new Duratrax Six Pack S tires which I calibrated for afterwards after putting them on.

This also works for the MAXX & solved my issue!! Thanks for the info
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
I was about to order an brand new esc or something and you saved me!
whenever i get to the 2 green lights and try to go foward the convery trys to but fails, and before somebody says my motor is broken, its brand new.
Mine won’t stay on after holding the button
What’s the issue
@@rcusa201 i figured out It was my ESC that was bad I upgraded to the max 6
So I have a Max 5 that turns on and flashes but does not have any audible tones and all I have is steering and when I hit the throttle or reverse it just shakes the gears and doesn't move forward or backwards. This is in an outcast 8S with a Max 5 and 1250kv motor
Check ur connections and remove the motor and see if it turns might be jammed bearing on motor or somthing bad itself on motor
it works on the traxxas maxx too thank you i was worried it broke bc i ran in a ditch about 20 min earlier lol
Nice I’ll change the tires xmaxx and Maxx
Thanks so much for your video 👍👍 my truck is now working again 😄😄
Nice good job!!
Thank you sooo much! Been dealing with this forever and couldn’t find a fix
This worked and got my truck working thank you!!
Nice job!
Bravo ! Tanx a lot 😊😊👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌. i got same problem with traxxas summit. God bless you.
Thank you for the video this problem was happening to me to and wen I saw the video I was really happy to find this video, thanks

Good save!!
Awesome vid and edits and filming and car and tips
My truck does not do it, when i hold it down it goes red but then the light turns off and nothing works from there, brand new motor too
That thing is huge!!
Yeah man I got 2 of them and few more 5th scale
You Rock Brother it worked for me thank you so very much what happend was I was trying to bind my flysky transmitter
I have the same issue. But when try that I get the 1st red light. But not the 2nd blinking light
Steven Golson try again it took me several attempts also make sure ur battery is full in controller and truck also zero out the setting on the controller
@@rcusa201 sorry I just seen this. But I finally got it working. I sold it and went back to the arrma kraton lol.
Mine the throttle randomly stop for 5 second and its works but the steering works fine while the throttle stop. Should a calibration fix this or need a new receiver or esc ? ????
Thank you so much for this video my friend!! You help me a ton! I was lost!!!!!!!!!!
I have a Traxxas slash and it will only turn left and drive and I don’t know how to fix it and will not turn right and drive or even drive straight
Luke TheMaster17 check your steering trim ... dose the truck turn when it’s off the ground?

Thank you man, was having this same issue with my erevo... Back to bashing around again!
But I don't have that button it just has an off on can you help please. It was working just fine but then it wouldn't go forward or back but it turns
On off? It’s push button?
It worked on the e revo 2.0 too. Great vid
Works great now. Thank you
Welcome
what does it mean if after the calibration it only will go forward. the light on the reciever flashes green when you pull trigger in reverse but it doesnt move. there something defective in the transmitter?
Maybe u have it in racing mode
Bardzo dziękuję za ten film! Dzięki niemu obyło się bez serwisu...👍
I have a question I have a Traxxas T-Maxx 2.5 and when I apply the gas it engages the brakes why any help?
Check ur servos and connector to correct slot
Hey my e revo is now steering is working the throttle want did I do?How do I fix the problem?Thanks
Re calabrate it other wise might need to check motor or esc
What if not flashing green twice, only solid green ?!?
Well solid green means good check to see if u didn’t burn the motor
@@rcusa201 thank you very much for answering me, appreciate it. And yes i found out i burned the motor 🙃 now o have to upgrade and im so like lost and hesitate ! I duno what to choose 😑, if you can advice me with a good motor i’ll appreciate it 🥹
My slash does the same thing should I still do this ?
Bro just saved me a bunch of $$, tysm brotha! 🙏
Hi, please advise if my truck has no such button to press on the car body, what should i do ?
Then u don’t have stock esc what esc u have
How do u turn on the esc
@@rcusa201 It is ROC hobby mogrich 1/18, only have one on/off switch to turn on the car after connercted the battery, i dont know what to do
What if it does flash green after holding the forward trigger? Mine flashes red instead of green
Do you have to hold the reverse for a while?
Yeah
@@rcusa201 how long does it take?
My issue is I hit the throttle and the motor spins but the wheels are turning slow.
I dont have that button what should I do
What esc u got
Should I send my car's photo on Instagram? Can u tell me ur Instagram ID?
@@Curiousr7 don’t have it u can post a video on here
I have The same problem but with The wltoys 12427-b and it dosent work do you know how to do?
Try rebinding do the basics check to see if servo turn and u can switch to throttle port on reciever and check if servo works there also
So my issue is its f flashing green but then when I turn the steering it starts it goes back to normal solid green but then when I hit the throttle a secondary red light comes on and it starts flashing also when i hit the throttle the motor is getting signal but it just like budges forward
I have the same problem but i habe the nitro 3.3 tho. After my run. All of the sudden it wont go forward or reverse. It wanted to run away but something is holding it. Any help much apreciated. Thanks
So once it runs away Sonu have stewing?
@@rcusa201 hi sorry what do you mean by stewing.
My HSP doesn't move backwards
Does this happen with arrma too? My granite won’t go forward or reverse but steering works. And whenever I press the trigger, the light stays red.
Yes it can happne with Arrma
@@rcusa201 any idea how I’d calibrate it? I don’t have a button since I have the brushed version with the base ESC. Would rebinding it work?
It did everything you showed....but didn't go forward or backward still. I must be doing something wrong
Put the tqi to zero steering center and retry
Thank you for helping
Dude thank you so much for this!
Worked?!
I don’t understand I did all of the steps and the everything worked but my rc car isn’t moving still and the steering works and stuff
Thanks it worked for my erevo
Thanks so so much, I had the same problem on my Arrma granite blx.
Yeah those need calibrations here and there they loose their minds
Super helpful, fixed the problem, thanks 👍
Thanks man u saved my day🙏🏻
I’ve got the same problem with my nitro team Losi .
Will this work also ?
Yeah it’s just calibration u can try it also search up instructions maybe they can be diffrent but somthing close to it
Thank you your vid helped me I thought my cousin broke my truck thank you so much
All you have to do is put your throttle trim on the controller back to the 0 setting usually that is right in the middle and it would have worked
Thanks for that!
Thank you for this! I just had the exact same problem.
Nice fix !!
Yo thanks , trying to run my slash for Thanksgiving appreciate the help
I cant do it because i open the car while holding what should i do?
It doesn’t work for me but m using the latrax teton
My isn’t working it makes loud voice when I touch race and it turns but doesn’t go forward or backwards
Hey mine doesn’t have that button but mine is the same thing if maybe you could help thanks
Hey ok u can do calibration with controller. What esc system u got abs controller?
@@rcusa201 I honestly don’t know I’m kinda a nubbie but I tried calabrstion with my controller and it didn’t work I watched a video of this other guy

East Tactics I had very bad experience with hobby wing I would stick with stock esc or change it to castle monster momba x 8s
What would I do if i hade the same problem but the truck just flashes red and the truck also won’t turn off unless the battery’s not connected
Try this first and if it don’t work out then u need to find out what the red flashing like means should be in the manual book
I tried doing the thing then I hold it down until it turns red and i put my throttle all the way to the back and then my ecu it flashes red not green it’s not working help pls
Try it again charge the battery full
I did this even with two charged batteries and it didn’t work
