Help with my RC car

I have a TAMIYA TT01 RC and its going weird. Got a new motor in today and the ESC is acting weird. First time I plug it in it worked, trying to slowing warm up the motor, break-in. After that the ESC resets automatically about every 2 second. Everytime I pull the trigger for 2 seconds, the ESC resets(like you just turn it on). Does that all the time. The motor will start to spin than it stops. Its a upgraded ESC and motor. I manually reset the ESC but it still does its thing.

Anybody know how to fix it?

 

Message cp9a6m about it. He is RC god!

 

is the set up brushless?

 

Do you have the proper capacitors on the motor? What motor and ESC are we talking about? What radio system do you have?

 

no

Everything should be working properly as it works for the previous motors. RC have been stored for over 2yrs.

 

get some caps on the motor and solder the motor leads to the copper tabs, those clips cause hella interference. Try re-setting the ecu (full throttle and brake reset).

 

/\/\/\This!

Also try to relocate the receiver away from the motor. The motor often emits frequencies that can disrupt your receiver signal.

 

Tried that a few times and it still doesn't fix anything.

 

First thing I'd do it relocate that receiver and solder those motor leads like mentioned above, you'd be surprised how much radio interference those motors can cause, especially when the antenna wire is basically touching it.

Another thing you can do to help narrow it down is swap the steering and esc plugs at the receiver, re-set the esc for the steering wheel, then see if the steering freaks out or if it continues to do the same with the motor. If the motor works like normal and the steering gets all glitchy then it's probably an issue with the receiver and you'll want to replace it.

If you've done all that and still it continues to act up, I'd say it's the speed controller itself that's bad. I really haven't had the best of luck with that particular brand of speed controller myself, so it wouldn't really surprise me. I've had 3 or 4 of those in various setups and I've never once had one last me over about a month, the only thing that kept me coming back was the waterproof case, but there are now other brands that have that.
