leedsrhinos126 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I have just bought a SC10 with a Ezrun brushless motor setup capable of running 2s and 3s lipo. My problem is that the motor keeps cutting out and seems to get very hot. If I switch the car off and on it's fine again for 20 seconds then cuts out. The ESC and battery keeps cool, I'm running it on 3s lipo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-BEZ- Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 what ever you are doing you are over stressing the motor/esc. could you post more info about the car you are using and the gearing you are using; Make & Model of RC Approximate weight of car with lipo installed Spur tooth count Pinion tooth count Lipo mAH and C rating Make and Model of motor KV of motor used Do you know what the settings are set at on the ESC (punch/timing advance etc)? all the above info will help us help you with more accurate options to make sure your car is setup correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCMonkee Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Sounds like the thermal shut down is kicking in as it is getting to hot. My EZrun 8.5t 60A combo does the same and i can only run the 2s lipo on it. Trying gearing it down with a smaller pinion or running it on 2s and see how it goes.

Noj Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Is that the 60a esc, with a blue finned can? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leedsrhinos126 Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 I'm running 2s lipo now abd the motor seems much happier. The 3s battery i bought seems to have bulged ever so slightly and a little out of shape? Dunno if it was like this when i got it but could that have caused the motor to overheat?
