I also noticed my truck keeps shutting off at weird times during the race. I tried a new sensor wire, re-did all my solder joints, checked to be sure all my bullets were tight fitting, and made sure my receiver plugs were fitting right. It will just have no throttle for 10 seconds, but the steering works fine. I'm using good new smc race formula packs as well. I don't know what else to do.

Maybe the switch acting up and the delay for the receiver/servo is just small enough not to notice as compared to the esc.

What esc are you using? Are you running an external BEC?

I'd say current limit for temps and punch control for handling.

I disabled the switch, so it's not like it's ever "turned off", just loss of throttle. For now, i'm gonna try my other "backup" mmp and see if that fixes it.

We sent it in and it was replaced. The replacement worked ok, but without current limit it would still cut out just from motor draw (HobbyWing 4700kv).

If you remove the switch from the equation it sounds like a bad cell causing the lvc to kit it. If the battery isn't the case, sounds like it is time to try the other esc.
