What happens when a GTB 'thermals'??

Does the ESC flash any LED's?
Does it just cut out?
How do you get the ESC to start working again?

Thanks in advance

Not sure if this is the case on everyones , but Lee’s thermalled in practice yesterday and locked on full throttle … I have a nice burn mark on my finger to prove it as it caught the spur gear on full spin!!!!

Not sure if this is the actual case.... or proper instructions, but coming from IT, (switch it off and back on again) seems to be good advice. Doing an overall reset on the speedo (hold down the button on the switch when you turn it on) and do the full throttle and brakes etc etc.

Don't forget that you will need to reset your drag brake if you like it different from the standard setup.

Cheers
Mark

I've only done it once (Rich Lowe goaded me into running a 4.5 on long grass) and it just shut off. Kash turned it off and on again allowing me to do the 1/4 lap I needed to finish. It's been fine ever since too.

its not Nitro Paul, you don't need to stall the flywheel to stop a run-away! :P
