Butty91 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Having some issue's with my Big rock, got it from another seller Will run great for 5/10 minutes or so and then all of a sudden it will cut out. Steering still works fine just no throttle. ESC Flashes red. Turn power off and on again and it runs fine? Any ideas? using 6500mah 3s Lipo.

J.K Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Sounds like LVC could be cutting in - is your lipo fully charged? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkshireman Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Could be that you have one of the dodgy esc's that cut at 3.8v. Try running on nimh mode with a voltage alarm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try running on nimh mode with a voltage alarm. My senton stops with the lipos cells around 3.8v. I was going to ask what level the cutoff should be as I'm new to electric. Do i need a new esc?

I think the cut off should be 3.4......the trouble with the BLX 100 is you can't alter the voltage cut, only select between lipo & nimh. In the end I bought a Hobbywing MAX10 SCT but, you could always try a warranty claim if it's a relatively new car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogBone Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Yeah mines brand new so I'll look into getting a new esc on warranty. What do your batteries cut off at in NIMH mode? Is that dangerous? Sorry for thread hijack! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 in nihm mode lvc is off and it will run the battery completely flat thats why earlier in thread he recommended if doing that use a low volts alarm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
