This means the motor suddenly applies power in random directions, maybe more than one direction at once. Either way, the rear wheel locks up and I almost fly off. After a few power resets and poking, the ESC wouldn&#8217;t even play the setup tone, meaning there was no control signal at all, but the main power relay still latched, so it is getting battery power.\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Fortunately, Snuffles is small enough to kick scoot and limp back to home base.
