What do you guys reccomend I use for a weatherproof box for the new mamba max esc? It's going in my slash, it won't see any amount of water or anything, I just want to protect it if I end up taking it out in the snow.

i have used Tupperware and RadioShack project boxes. sealed them up with RTV. hope that helps

I've read dipping it in corrosionX is a good way also.

A balloon with petroleum jelly at the neck. Then zip tie.

Cut the body mounts down on the stampede. Sits an inch lower roughly. Much better. Soldered traxxas connectors onto it and the battery.

Made a waterproof cover for esc as the duratrax element isn't waterproof.

Read the trouble shooting in the manual.

Bit something tells me all you need to do, is hold a buttuon down for a few seconds.

new esc? needs to be calibrated to the radio

nope. stock esc & stock radio.

gonna play around with this later

Wraith ESC's are set for LiPo, as a default.

Bet you defaulted it, and arent running a LiPo.
NiMH batteries set off the low-charge indicator on the esc.

Am I right?

re-bind the radio to the receiver.

i am running 2s lipos only expect for the first day i had it.

re-bind the radio to the receiver.

i'm 98% sure this is the answer. after dicking with it here at work and trying to calibrate the esc, i'm certain that my radio is doing nothing to effect the truck. so i either need to rebind, or my rx reciever crapped out on me.
