I think its your ESC. Best way to check would be to connect to a different ESC and try the motor but since you dont have friends with the same car its an issue.

Since you have bought this from the US, you will need to send the faulty esc to the head office. Return shipping and duty will have to be paid by you.

If it was bought in India it would be a free replacement. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

i bought this in US, there its easy..(for 30days) am not sure of this in india.. do traxxas.in cover

Traxxas India will not cover it since its not purchased from them or its dealers. The 30 day period is for electronics, it will be replaced if they find it faulty or defective, if they find it misused or an error from the user you will have to pay repair charges along with two way shipping and duty.

I agree with Siddharth on the diagnosis. Its ( most possibly) the ESC. By upgrade, I meant trying the Mamba Micro Pro system. If its too expensive, you can try the Toro combos. People have had good luck with them. I haven't read much about mini ESC's. I'll see how the Mamba's have been and I'll let you know.

is this the one http://www.castlecreations.com/products/mamba_micro_pro.html     ??

Please bear with me, i have few questions,,

1. Does this can be used with the existing Velineon 360 motor in the traxxas ?
2. Is this available in india ? (so i can get warranty for some time )
3. How much wire are there from receiver to ESC ? (2 or 3) i see in traxxas its 3. but in mamba its 2 ?

please advise !!!

That is the one I spoke about. You can't get it in India. There should be 3 wires from the ESC to the Rx...

Are the castle systems water proof?

they are splash proof. not waterproof afaik.

I don't think Castle advertises their systems as splash proof. The system in the XS Flux is said to be "waterproof". I bet they mean to say 'water resistant'. If Castle does say their systems are splash proof, its going to be good...

AFAIK, only Hobbywing advertises their product as splash proof.

Would be good to see water proof systems from castle.

i know this is offtopic. but the Savage XS seems to be having a lot of Esc related problems

Yup. Lets see what the OP wants to do....

Well its the first batch so hope they fix it up. I really hope this retails in India. I would prefer a XS to the TRX minis.

yup. hope they do. i want one too

Post edited. Dont want to hijack the thread
