| I am not sure if my esc on my stampede is bad ir not. I ran a full 7 cell 4600 mah battery and when I went to shut the truck off it took off. Now as soon as I plug a battery in it goes. It is the stock xl5 but before the waterproof ones came out. So I don't know if it got to hot or wet maybe? Any help would be great. Thanks |

| Adjusting the throttle trim on the radio doesn't do anything? Still has steering? If that is the case then I would say the ESC is bad. |

| Yeah it still has steering, and the trim does nothing . I mean its full throttle as soon as I try to hook up the battery without even turning the esc on. |

| I wouldn't buy a stock one. I'd go with a Sidewinder, or a MMP if run 3s. |

| Depends, are you going to stay brushed? If so I am sure you could find a used XL-5 cheap from someone who has went brushless. I would just try to find one with lipo cutoff. |
