Hi all need some help, I am having a problem with my car for the last two races is starting to cut out around the 5 minute mark in a 7min race. I still have steering but no throttle. After about 10 sec I have throttle back but it keeps cutting out on any heavy throttle. Temps are - Motor-117, ESC-123, so not a thermal problem (I think). I am assuming it is the battery, hitting the battery cutoff, but this is only a recent occurrence. I have already reduced gearing from a 14 to 13 with no effect. Running a large outdoor 1/8 track.
RX8Gen2, 4600Pro4, 13-40, 6000mAh 65-130C Nano-Tech.
ESC Settings - 2S, LM 80, TP3 - would reducing the current limit help?
Cheers

The symptoms you are describing is classic low voltage cutoff.

First try a different battery. If it still does it then check for loose/cold solder joints. You can lower the current limit but it will be a bandaid for a marginal battery. Also check your fan. I had the same problem and tracked it down to a shorted fan. About 4 minutes into the run the esc would try and turn on the fan and because it was shorted it would shut down throttle for about 5 seconds. But it really sounds to me like you have a battery issue and voltage is dropping to lvc under load.

Update
Has anyone dropped the 50 bones on this new caster block??
http://www.horizonhobby.com/products...scte-TLR334017
Curious how much more steering this offers? What is the stock caster block angle compared to this new 15* option?

I can say that I now have so much steering available. I TQ and win with the New setup. Also Installed the MIP Puck system . Made the power smooth and it accelerated hard and smooth. Also freshened up the frontend with some new HA ballz. Still running the 1.6 2 hole pistons 30 front 27.5 rear. Overall The new parts are a welcome addition with not only performance gains but also the fit and lack of sloop or loose fitting parts are nice . I'll post more as the Upgrade goes on.

There shock towers offer more adjustment for tuning of shock position and camber link.

I ordered the blocks too, just waiting on them to show up.
I ran Lake Park Sunday and it was so dry and dusty, everyone was scrambling for steering... On M4 Blockades my truck was pushing like a dumptruck.
Ended up BQ, won the B and finished 6th outta 12 in the A.
Running the Dunford setup.
I will pull it off if I see any negative!

Turn your brake way down and your problems will be solved. I see it often at our track.

All I had were M2 and M4 Blockades and some MegaBytes that were about 80% worn. When they blew the track off and you could actually see the groove starting to come in, the MegaBytes were money... but only for a few laps, it was so dry and dusty it went skating by lap 3.
The Blockades were my only other option, so thats what I went for.
Diffs were 5-7-5, its the Dunford setup, to the T.
Have you tried removing the front sway bar? An old trick from the 1.0 that seemed to help alot.
