That is really weird i run my scte with a 277 oz. In. Servo and never had any problems other than no reverse and a weird cutoff issue. Guess when i get a truggy i'll switch the 150 amp to it and get an sct pro for my scte.

Well guys, I continue to have issues ever since putting this sc411 5200 in my truck, and I can't quite figure it out.
So today's racing, first qualifier it just quit, sensor signal complaining again. Second qualifier and everything was cool. In the A-Main, it started lunging when I wasn't even hitting the gas and randomly losing my steering, any ideas? Maybe my Glitchbuster is failing? Also, the ESC fan is failing, now I have a fan wired off of the receiver, is it maybe time I think about calling Orion?

Would this Novak Havoc Pro SC/Ballistic 550 System 4.5T w/X-Drive work in the losi and keep up with others or go faster without overheating?
does anyone use the airtronics mt4 with your scte? i need ideas /pics mounting the rpm sensor. thanks
Well, since we're on the topic of motors and ESC's, I burned up a Brushless Hobbies 120a ESC after 2 packs, running the Tenshock SC411 4000kv on 40c 2s batteries. While I have the option of getting another BH ESC, I am a little apprehensive about getting another in fear of the same thing happening again. As far as I'm concerned, my only options are a Castle MMP or sell all the Chinese stuff and go with a Viper Copperhead 4500kv 550. Any other options I'm missing? What is recommended if I decide to keep the Tenshock motor? I like the Tenshock motor, it's fast and sensored, which I like but I hear the Viper systems are nearly as smooth as sensored.

I got mine from Funshobby (http://www.funshobby.com/) and they are great on customer service (bought my SC411 4000kv from them a couple of months ago). For me in Australia, it is a lot faster shipping since they are in Asia. You might be better off with an American distributor.
It's strange reading that, because I am/was getting similar problems (glitching, no ESC fan, sometimes no signal) but with my MMP and the SC411 4000KV, but after 3 months of use. I can't blame anything in particular at the moment as I did quite a few mistakes - ESC came loose and bounced around , connect ESC with reverse polarity .
Once the new ESC + motor combo arrive I will be replacing things one component at a time to try and isolate where the problem is...

If you do keep the tenshock, I also agree that the sct pro is the way to go. They are very good
I don't know why it went bad but others have had the same problem. I read a bunch on the URC and RCShortcourse threads and found out I wasn't the only one.

SCT Pro also gives you some more programming options (XERun vs. EZRun).
Yea - I'm a fan of the SCT Pro. I replaced my 80A HW with that in my 1/8 buggy. I also really like that you can just unplug the fan, and plug in your programmer to the fan port. No more fumbling around with the receiver cover.
