Michelle, if you've Beene using it a lot the battery will slowing lose its power. Your best bet would be to move up to a LiPo battery.

could be your battery is wearing out or maybe the motor/transmission needs cleaning. Has to be motor or battery, or both. Good luck

Hiya... Traxxas sell duel charging adapters for 2cell lipos and 3cell lipos but ya can only charge 2 at once.. And I think there only for the traxxas eazy peak plus chargers... If ya have two 2cell lipos you'll need traxxas 2917 duel charging adaptor.. If you look at the pics you'll see two white connections for the ballance leads on ya battery's... These are smaller on the 2cell adaptor the 3cell adaptor ones are a bit bigger... That's the only difference.. Hope this helps..

This should work great in a slash. I run one of these combos in my traxxas rally. 11.1v or 3S is so fast.

U bought it through Amazon, RETURN IT and get another one. Sounds like it's got a short or a defective motor/ battery. Take advantage of Amazons excellent return policy.

Mine wroked until after I charged it then it barley trickled any electricity. It might be the battery. These things are pretty much junk and you would be lucky to get a good one.

Traxxas sent out a replacement driveshaft. Broke on first battery. Their suggestion was to upgrade the driveshafts to metal. The hobby shop took care of the motor and speed controller. If they hadn't I would've been out $100, half the cost of a new one through traxxas.

When mine flashed red and green that meant the battery was bad. I changed the battery and it works great now. If your battery was run down several time then it could have damaged the battery. You'll have to get a new battery.

It could just be the product. Sometimes I have the same issue with mine. Over time the connection between the battery and stand has become less consistent in keeping a steady charge. I spend a little too much time trying to find a "sweet spot" where my controllers will stay docked and charged. Maybe contacting Energizer for warranty information would be a good move.

Picked one up today and it does the same thing. They should at least mention it in the manual. I wasn't sure if it was normal. Apparently it is. Thanks for bringing this up and thanks for your follow up.

I have found that when the batteries can no longer sustain a charge the throttle will not work properly and usually burns up.I replaced the batteries and the throttle and it is all working properly

I just stuck with a Traxxas receiver and linked it to the TQI that came with my XO-1. I use the 5000mah 3s batterys that came with My XO-1 as well. I have a Venom pro charger and love it. Had for many years. I have several Traxxas vehichles and have never had an issue with their electronics so I stick with them. Hope this helps

It has to be deep cycle or other battery will die faster. If you mix several batteries together, make sure they are same condition, same model.

Never run The Traxxas, I usually run Castle od Tenkin. But I use the race pro in my Axial Exo buggy Im geared for speed and it hast failed me once. Running 2s Lippo could run 3s but I have all I need on 2s. The SCT race Pro I picked because of cooling, I had problems with too many other motors over heating in my Exo. SInce I switched I havent over heated once. I also like the fact that Castle makes a Castle link connector that stays open for you to plug into with the field programer or from fied via usb to Computer for adjustments. On my Tenkin FXR is not as easy.

No its been defraged. I use system mechanic so it tells me when to do it. I also seen people say it takes time to get faster. I use it everyday since iv gotten it.
