Xcelorin not going forward

[AlisdairO]

Hey all,

I'm experiencing an issue with my xcelorin setup that I thought you chaps might have some knowledge on. The motor works much of the time, but if it stops at a certain point, it won't go any more. If I move it on a cog, it starts working again. I imagine this is due to sensor issues? I've changed the sensor wire, but that hasn't changed anything. Any thoughts?

Fortunately I haven't actually taken the heatsink off it yet, as I wouldn't be surprised if that invalidated the warranty

I had this once with a novak system. It was one of the phases that had blown... Send it back if its still under warranty.

I have the same problem with my brushed ecs/motor any ideas what it could be?

Yep you need to skim the comm and put new brushes on.

what do i need to be able to do that? or should i take it to a model shop? its a fairly old 15x3, or should i just replace it?

I've tried an alternative motor and sensor wire, but had no joy, so it must be the ESC. Have shipped it off to horizon for repair - anybody know how long they usually take?
