Hey guys.
Forgive my ignorance, totally new to this so please don't flame me..lol
I had my ECX RTR Circuit Truck sitting in its box on my balcony, in Toronto, for a couple years straight. Through the hottest, humid summer days and the coldest winter days. I was sure the battery was shot, and more. Decided to pull it out gave the battery a 6 hour charge (and it got quite warm during) and took it out for a test.
The issue: So it runs. But at less than half the speed. It didn't die right away. I can run it for about 5mins, but its very sluggish and picks up slowly. Sometimes it would stop n go, stop n go (with my finger fully pressed on the trigger). Basically its semi responsive.
Is it just that the battery is shot even on full Charge? Or other maintenance i can try to get it back up to par? What would have been affected during those years of sitting that I can check?
Thanks in advance.
