Bajadre Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 if you unplug battery and restart do you have full power for a while again Shawn? could be a LVC problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWF Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Hi Sorry, but the others have given you all of the right advice! Just had to say, the Lasernut is my favourite rc car ever and if Losi make a V2 with a tougher drivetrain, I’d buy one just to look at. I hope you get it sorted and Losi make my dreams come true one day, haha. Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babylon Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Jees, Been ages since I was last here. How long dose in run from a full charge before going into what sounds like LVC. I ask because I would assume the Spectrum is based on the Hobbywing WP-SC8 Or the Max10 Which I think are still the same ESC in different clothing, But the SC8 had a problem with the LVC being well off when set to auto detection, As in a 4s it would shut down when the pack was only at about half depletion, Not had mine for a while but off the top of my head I think I had to set it at 2.8v/cell to get full use from the pack and it would slow at about 3.0v. The firmware may have been sorted since I had mine, But you could run it at 2.8v, See if it runs longer and then just stop and keep checking the voltage, Get one of These if you don't already.

Steering still works but no throttle You need one of them cell checkers if your charger doesn't have a cell display, It's possible one of the 4 cells is duff.

SWF Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Hi If you have a Spektrum Smart battery and the original radio, the battery state should be shown on the handset? It could be a faulty temperature sensor or broken fan in the esc, what lights does the esc flash when the problem occurs? Sorry if you’ve already checked these!
