This exact problem happened to me with 1/16th e revo, however recalibrating didn’t work so I’m still stuck.

Did u check to see power voltage

[@qamskill]

I don’t understand, I already calibrated mine, it’s just been 2 1/2 weeks, everything is stock except for new Duratrax Six Pack S tires which I calibrated for afterwards after putting them on. My XMAXX has only been running for 3 sessions until it started doing this after sitting for two weeks, batteries were in good health and taken care of when I was waiting for my tires. It drives then shuts off power and just makes a whining noise when I push on the throttle again. Not sure!

I’m trying to fix an Xmaxx for a friend, I’m not very familiar with them however I’m wondering if the ESC is bad. I performed the steps you outlined here and the ESC responded as if it registered correctly. However anytime I pull the trigger the ESC immediately cuts out and shuts off. Any ideas?

[@rcusa201]

Try cleaning all the connectors first the esc will cut of if there’s bad connections to protect it disconnect the wires from the motor and try it if it dosent shut off then it can be bad motor

[@EastTactics]

MI. RC LIFE, Thx, I’ll check those things and let you know if I have any other questions. When I got his xmaxx, Day one, I turned it on to see what was going on with it and it ran but was only moving at like 3 mph. It only did that for a few minutes and then it all of a sudden got to that point where it stopped moving and when pulling the trigger the esc just cut off. So I almost feel like I might’ve fried some thing. Turns out the issue with why it was only going 3 miles an hour it was because one of the bearings inside of the motor exploded and jacked up the inside. So I was sort of forcing it to run. I’m hoping it’s a bad connector somewhere though. Oh… And the motor is brand new. Just arrived yesterday.

[@rcusa201]

East Tactics check for bearing sieved up that could cause issues with motor and esc it will put load

[@EastTactics]

Well… It looks like I will have to buy a new ESC. Should I pick up another stock ESC, or should I switch to another brand like the hobby wing max 6? What are you running? If I pick up a hobby wing does that open up the options to adjust the punch setting for the X max?
