Red Blinking LED of DEATH!!! - (How to fix it) RC car ESC

You just saved Horizon Hobbies a bunch of money. They should start sending you cars to demo.

I hope this video helps lots of people out. These kind of videos are the best!

YES! THANK YOU! You just saved me the trouble of dealing with customer support. I didn't notice that the throttle trim knob had been knocked away from center.

I had this happen last night to my Arrma Notorious. I tried new batteries in the truck, new batteries in the radio, checked connections, then I messed with the ESC a little bit and still no change. This morning I tried this trick and it worked! Thanks 🙏🏼

Excellent video, helped me out greatly. I just got a Losi truck and right out of box the red light was blinking but the tires did turn and then it just took off on its own but I caught it before any damage occurred. It then did no throttle movement, just steer. This confused and frustrated me until I came across your video and I saw the throttle trim was turned up to the max from the factory so I adjusted it to the middle and started the rc up again then all the lights turned green and the truck operated normally. You saved me a lot of time and frustration. Thank you very much!

THANK YOU! This 2yr old video was 100% the solution to my issue. Took less than 30 seconds to fix my Arrma granite.

Just had this issue a few minutes ago and this video absolutely helped!

Razor RC, I just happened to stumble across this video while looking for a solution to this very issue. Saved me the hassle of having to contact Horizon Hobby and waiting to see if they would send a new ESC. I am so grateful, you have a subscriber in me!

Sweat fixed me up. I had adjusted for better take off. Didn't know what the heck had happened, until now👍👍 Thanks for the lesson

Hi Razor, my power lead to my esc broke yesterday. So after re-souldering the wire, I powered up. Red light of death, I had steering but no drive. Searched your video's and yep you had the answer. It's now fixed. Thank you so very much you saved me £85.00 in the UK. Not sure how long my soulder will last though. Ha. Thank you so much. John

Thanks for the video! I just picked up a new RC car and all of a sudden the throttle died on me but the steering worked. I substituted a different receiver, thinking maybe the ESC or receiver burnt out but then the ESC worked and so did the receiver so I was really confused and that’s when I noticed a blinking red light which I thought was really weird. I didn’t touch anything and then I started to get my throttle back. I did a Google search and found this video and it makes sense how you explained it. I believe when I was driving it around the other day I did have the throttle trim, turned up because I was playing around with it to see what it did. Thanks so much for explaining it and the little red, blinking light is no longer there! Thank you!

Just today my ARRMA INFRACTION's ESC is blinking red, no throttle response, but there's steering. I googled the problem and that led me to your video. I saw that my throttle trim was off-center, centered it, and my throttle was back and I was rocking again. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

This saved me down time for one of my 1/10 scale ARRMA Senton 4x4 Brushless and about $300. I was getting frustrated and was ready to upgrade the esc & motor, when I found this video while looking for a good upgrade combo for the ARRMA Senton 4x4 Brushless.

Sooooooo many little things with the electronics! Thanks for the informative vid! Appreciate the hard work!

Awesome info. I’ve not had that happen. But in case it ever does, people like you sharing amazing information like this is priceless!

Mine is the opposite the driveline works but steering doesn’t what do I do?

Thanks Razor RC Great tip. I get excited to play with the RC and forget about checking the basics.

Just fixed my kids RC car that's been out of commission for a year! Thank you!

DUDE YOU ROCK!! JUAT PULLED OUT MY RC FROM YEARS AGO. AND WHAT YOU SAID WAS EXACTLY RIGHT!!! THANK YOU!!!!!

Superb. Thanks so much. Worked with my MVK Quantum Flux. New to all this and so great to have vids and help like this.
