I have a possible issue...
after coming off a hard landing.. I had no throttle response but i had steering. I didnt get to see what lights were flashing on my speedo but a quick pick up and drop got it going again.
it was in a Losi SCTE running a revtech 4800 kv motor, spektrum 3100 dsm 2 receiver and futaba bls451 servo and a reedy 65c 6500 mah battery.
any ideas? or is it just shutting off because of the hard landing?

What kinda temps are you running ?? Local Buddy had some Thermalling issues with that motor if he ran it a little hard. Lowered CL and it helped a Bunch. I do honestly think he went back to his Pro4 tho.

Your going to have to send it in. It is an impact related issue. I had 2 rx8s do the same thing. One with a cc bec and one without.

I wonder if there are any plug in boards inside the RX8 that might come loose?

Hey guys need some help with my old reliable RX8, it has been flawless for a very long time but recently it started to act up. Sometimes when I turn it on it doesn't arm, it turns on, the fan comes on but it doesn't sound the chimes, the steering servo works but no throttle and 1, 3 & 5 lights come on which indicates LVC but I know for a fact that the battery is fully charged. I turn the switch on and off several times and eventually it will arm and when it does it works perfectly again, any suggestions? Thanks.
