Had abit of a mad one whilst bashing earlier, fully charged 6s, brand new aa battery's for the transmitter and it felt like the motor started to choke abit then lost all power apart from steering as I went to walk to go get it out of nowhere full throttle into a tree luckily only the body cracked and not the tree🙄 had a quick look at the cables to see if it'd toasted it and the esc was flashing red turned it off and took it in the garage had the wheels off and turned it back on and it kept throttling on its own.
Is this a failsafe issue, esc issue or a transmitter issue?

Stock transmitter/receiver aren’t great that would be my 1st thing to check/change if have another tx/rx try them if not reset end points see if that helps.

Yeah been having a few problems with the tx/rx recently and reset the end points redone the failsafe.
Funny enough me and my pal took a few of our cars to an underground carpark an hour ago and it RIPPED like it was brand new soon as I got it on the outdoor carpark about 80 ft and it was cutting out, run away full speed then cut out again 🙄 definitely need to change the tx/rx
 
It sounds like the throttle trim is off center. The first place to start is to zero out all the settings on the remote and recalibrate the ESC. This may not fix the problem, but it is the first place I would start.
 
It amazes me that toy grade radios are used in 6S rigs. It's crazy. In fact, it's bloody dangerous.

I ran the fancy radio supplied with the Kagama LE for all of 5 minutes. On paper, it seems like a tidy radio. The reality?
  • I don't really like pistol radios
  • Range was terrible
  • Impossible to complete a lap around the 400m velodrome
  • At speed, it was ridiculously easy to go out of range, which felt like about 25m
  • I don't trust RTR radios or servos
  • Nobody needs high latency
No offence - but we don't need a new radio with every new rig. RTR's only make sense for someone who don't already own a collection of sub standard radios. 🤣

It's definitely not you - it's the RTR radios. They're awful.

I hear that because it does feel like something you'd get in a 2s rig in fact I've gotten more range from the ftx evo30 transmitter and I believe it's just a rebrand of dumborc, especially when these shirois do 60 70mph last thing you need is lag in the breaks or steering. On the hunt for a decent tx/rx now
