Just upgraded my car to brushless with a 4370kv motor and a 60A ESC. Sold together as a package. Paired with a DumboRC 6x and 6xfg receiver.
Running 2s lipo 3500mah 7.4v
Regardless if I'm driving on tarmac, grass, snow....fast or slow, at 25% or 100% and even gentle throttle while on a stand with no resistance. After several minutes the car comes to a stop. ESC still running but no drive or steering. If i turn the transmitter on/off nothing. Turn the ESC on/off then it works agin for several minutes then repeats the cycle?
Transmitter programmed
Battery charged
Reciever and transmitter bound

Whats going on?

4370kv motor drawing more than 60A and shutting down ESC?

Thanks

Who makes the ESC? Have you programed the temperature cut off? Or Battery voltage cut off?

It should be rather obvious that the ESC can not handle that motor, I am surprised it had not melted down. Need to find a motor your size that is a little under 60 amps or a esc that can drive 70-80A continuous.

Its thermal ling. .
if you read specs #1 clearly say Under 4300kv u have a 4370k that's Over the esc limits.
get a better esc or a lower turn motor
