4200Xl pump not operating and getting hot.

Could be that your motor is running backwards, this has happened to me in three occasions, I don't know why but it did. RC4WD doesn't put connectors on there motors so I just cut them and put bullet plugs on each of the three wire so that if it happens again I can swap wires.

That was what I was thinking it sounded like, pump motor spinning wrong direction. But I didn't read that Benny disconnected the motor at any time... I've never had a pump motor reverse on it's own, but then I don't run any chinese electronics in my stuff either.

Rather than changing wires David, you could reverse direction within the radio programming on each ch... were you doing some radio programming at the time when you had a reversal of pump motor?
