Hi guys, in a spot of bother,
one of my scorpion mini speed controlers has decided to stop working. no sparks or smoke or anthing like that, just turned it on today and only one side would go, charged the battery to see if that was the problem but no luck. the green light to show it is on is normal, but the led that changes colour when you move the stick (to show motor direction) is only very faintly green, so faint that it apears to be off from any distance away. i think that means its a problem with the esc rather than the motor, has anyone had this problem before? and any ideas on how to fix it.
thanks.
(also if anybody has any spare gear motors and brushless motors, let me know)
thank you.

Re: help?!
Try to isolate the problem.
Disconnect the motors. Does the problem persist?
Try a different receiver, and/or different channels. Does the receiver drive a servo or other ESC properly?
Finally, it's worth checking the wiring between the receiver and the ESC. Wires have a habit of breaking or almost breaking when you're not looking!
Hope this helps a bit...
