I have had mine for a bit over a week. No ESC issue with mine. I have changed it over to my Radio link for some AVS and added a better steering servo. I love it. She is fast, jumps well, and looks just awesome.
While I wish the factory tires were a softer compound, but they work alright in my yard. I definitely plan on ordering a stickier set of tires though. Also, HH is sending me a free programmer to update my firmware, I just asked them nicely for one . lol
That's great. Make sure you download the right version of the software. They never explained that well, and there are other links with older versions, and it will not work.
