Ive just got into RC cars and no nearly nothing about them, the first time driving it it was working well then after about a minute it stopped moving. I could still move the wheels fine but i couldnt reverse or drive. It would then start working again for a few seconds then would stop again. I dont know whatto do and would gladly appreciate some help as i dont know what to do or what im doing.

Kind Regards, Magnus

My RC car: Maverick Quantum XT

Since I don't run ground pounders ( cars or trucks )... I can only make a general suggestion.

Make certain you've completely charged the batteries up. The ESC should have a low voltage cutoff setting that would stop it from working when the voltage is too low, ensuring you are completely charged should take this possibility out of the equation. You can double check if you are fully charged using a multimeter just in case your charger isn't working properly. Most Lipo batteries have 4.2v per cell... so a 2s ( 2 cell ) battery would be at about 8.4v fully charged, a 3s battery would be at about 12.6v etc.
