My EZ Set button on my ESC has gotten where it sticks when I turn my ESC on and any other time I try to use it. Also, the wires to the receiver have gotten a short in them at the base of the ESC, so I can't fix it without taking apart the ESC. If I send it in (no, its under no special warranty), do I have to pay the $55 to get it looked at and fixed? I have no problems with paying for shipping, but for$55 I could almost buy a new ESC with that! I wouldn't mind paying for shipping like I said, but I'm not gonna send it in and if I must pay $55 for one main reason: these problems are a manufacturer's defect, not mine. The wires got a short during normal usage (easy driving around the yard) and the button, well that's just plain Traxxas's fault (I did not at all abuse the button, just pressed it like always). Now I love Traxxas (why I own their brand), but do I really have to pay $55 to get me ESC fixed? Thanks for the help guys, just wondering.

if i remember correctly they have a 1 year warranty, after that if you want traxxas to fix them then yes it is a cost of 50$ + 5$ return shipping to fix the ESC.<div>

I'm so upset with Traxxas that they changed the price for sending the ESC in for repair. It used to be $15 flat fee plus $5 shipping, and another $25 if you had changed the plug. Seems funny how after seeing so many people with problems with their ESC's lately that they upped the price so much. [:@]

Personally if it were me I'd take it apart and try to fix it myself, and if I can't, buy a different ESC.

i called Traxxas and got the issue resolved by re-calibrating the ESC to the transmitter. i think when the button got stuck it changed a bunch of settings and stuff but i think everything is fixed now. thanks for the help guys.
