    yessir! i was at pegasus today around 3pm with my dog lol

    the rtr buggy can be found here.

    http://eazyrc.com/1-10-scale/team-c/team-c-1-10-rtr-buggy-2wd.html

    210 bucks so its a pretty good deal you can get the kit version for the same price and it comes with more upgrades but no electronics. i could help out with set up if you need any help and they are easily upgraded too.

    and thanks!

    Just put my 5800 mah 2S lipo on the charger.. It read 2.8V.. put it on a .1A charge as a 1S battery and it'll charge to 4.2V.

    I'm guessing one of the cells took dump? Can I test each cell individually with a voltmeter using the balance leads?

    Also, my steering servo works and my ESC lights up like it should when i give it throttle but the motor does nothing. Ohmed out the connections, they're all good... Tried all the different motor wire combos... still nothing.
