Traxxas TRX6 w/ SnowBlower -- need a fail safe LOL

Published 2022-01-18
I built this last year never got to run it snow all melted -- so now finally we get
snow and about 10 mins of fun is going to cost ME !! O well -- caught a stick and didnt turn drive power off to the blower and there is no fuse -- well not
thinking the worst -- figured remove stick good to go WRONG motor was drawing enough current and killed my actual Main ESC so one STICK and its
major repairs not sure how bad steering servo seems toast as well -- still
trying to determine whats bad -- the slave esc fine and blower still spins :)
For now shes down for the count -- back to the drawing board need a fuse or breaker on blower esc so it can't kill the Primary -- nobody ever mentions this stuff lol KILL SWITCH for a BLOWER Jam !!!!

    Gday EJ, how are you mate. I have to say this was quite satisfying in the words of my son, watching this remove the snow with great power. Then all of a sudden it stopped fast. Those sticks are a pain for sure. Take care EJ and I really do hope all is well with you and your family mate. 😊
