Is this the Brushless Edition or brushed?

If it's brushed, check his out.

If it's the brushless, take a look at Castle's page for the MMM to identify the code.

Title: Traxxas E-Maxx , light blinking red and green
Post by: hangingtough on August 08, 2014, 02:46:58 PM
Hi,

Facing the blinking issue when we connect the batteries

Manual says this means over voltage.

But my NIMH battery is charging till 9.6 V only, which i think is normal.

So what could be the cause

it is nimh with Brushed setup

we used some WD-40 to temporarily solve this issue. The button is stuck for some unknown quality issue

but i comes back again.

I forgot about those problems. Traxxas ESCs are known to have such problems. Glad you got it fixed, albeit temporarily.

If you're upgrading, you might as well go brushless.
