naymo Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) Morning all, I put a 120a esc in the firestorm and nimh cells the rx/esc fires up no probs but on lipo its hit n miss?? Example, everythings plugged in and programmed but when i switch esc on the receiver just flashes (also steering does not operate?) if i flick the switch a few times only then does it come alive. if i then switch it off then back on the same happens where the receiver just flashes, i have tried another receiver but the same happens. If i plug a nimh in all is fine??? Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2 Edited July 27, 2012 by naymo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a voltage or connector issue ( bad joint ), or maybe an LVC issue with the esc- assuming the batts are fully charged? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there isn't one, then ebay > lipo alarm = that'll do the trick nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
