Introduzione
If your Electronic Speed Control is no longer working on your Remote Controlled vehicle, use this guide to replace and guarantee your ESC functions correctly again.
The Electronic Speed Control unit sends signals to the remote control to allow the car to move at different speeds. A broken or faulty Electronic Speed Control unit will not transmit the signal to the control, ultimately making your vehicle not able to move.
In this Electronic Speed Control tutorial, I will be showing you how to replace and install your new Electronic Speed Control unit. To complete this guide you will only need a few tools and some household items. This is fairly simple to do and I'm positive you will be able to complete it!
