Espeefan,

I think ( I know I shouldn't do that) you are on the right track. After I removed the back of the radio and made sure the spring was tensioned all the way up and moved the joy stick to ensure it did go back to center, I replaced the back on the radio and went to the truck. I just unplugged one of the motor wires, plugged in the batteries, and turned on the truck. Nothing. I turned off the truck, turned on the radio, turned the truck back on. Nothing. I turned off the truck, re-plugged the motor wire and turned the truck back on, I got the buzzing again. I felt the ESC and no vibration (I have it mounted on Velcrow). I touched the motor and there is a slight vibration. I eased the joy stick up (for forward) and the wheels started to spin. I eased the joy stick down (for reverse) and the buzz stopped and the wheels did not turn. I watched the marks on the joy stick and the dot on the moving part bearly go past the center mark when the buzz stopped. I am thinking the trim needs to be reset. Or the radio needs to be re-educated (maybe the operator needs the education). I have the manual so now I need to read on how to reset it and then let you know.

Question I have is...Could this be as a result of switching the spring from the right joy stick, because it was spring loaded to second gear, to the left, to have the throttle spring loaded to neutral, have something to do with it? Did I screw the pooch royally here?

Thanks,

tinbender
