Grasshopper123

It works. Thank you so much! It’s only been sitting in the corner for 9 months! This forum is great. So many helpful people.

Thank you ever so much to everyone who has responded to this topic. Those instructions look super complicated but I will give it my best!

Any idea how to turn reverse on?

Should I be replacing the ESC? I have a hornet too and that works fine. Would it be worth taking the ESC out of there and seeing if I can get the lunchbox to work?

Thank you for that. I have it set to brushed mode. Green on the ESC. Still forwards and no backward.

I have a black lunchbox. It will go forwards but not backwards! It’s been a few months since I tried to solve it. Previously it was going forwards and then cutting out. Now as if by magic forward works but no reverse. When I throttle forwards it goes fast. When I throttle back it stops the car but it won’t reverse. Any ideas please?

thank you so much!! Second time on the forum and both for wiring stupidity you guys are super stars 🎄🤩

yes it’s flashing green and beeping even with the remote on and connected. Yellow to yellow but still not working.

This is a lunchbox black edition.

Need help. Noob builder. I have connected green (battery) to blue from the esc. Yellow from battery to yellow on motor and have also tried orange but no joy. Steering working fine. Can’t get power to motor for some reason. thank you in advance for any help!

And yes I did it by the book so I had a good play with the servo before installing. In the photo I was steering left to show it worked!

Omg. Thank you! For information the instructions definitely say yellow motor cable to red/orange esc. It is working. Awesomeness.

Hi there, I recently purchased a Grasshopper as my first rc since I was a boy. Was thinking a bit of nostalgia and then perhaps a more modern one next. Unfortunately my confidence has taken a bit of a knocking. On building my Grasshopper I have installed the servo, receiver esc. Thought I would test it before doing anything else and the wheels will turn but they will not drive. I am not getting anything from the motor. Things I know/can see : wheels turn fine, battery is charged, receiver lights up, esc (Carson) lights up green when I press forward and backward, wires are seated correctly, there is a loose yellow wire from the esc, there is nothing plugged into the BEC port on the receiver(?), I have a brand new 540 Mabuchi motor but it is not turning or making any sound. What next please help!? Many thanks
