There is an old saying .... When all else fails read the instructions"

The LED sequence is explained in the instruction sheet.

"If LEDs 1,3 and 5 are flickering, it indicates that Voltage Cutoff may be set above battery pack voltage. Check that cutoff is cor-rectly set and that battery is fully charged. Motor or connections to motor are bad. Speed control not plugged into throttle channel on receiver, or receiver plug connection is bad"

Exactly as Randy said

You got that right. I had the exact same problem after fiddling with some settings just before a heat. Unfortunately, I didn't have the instructions with me. I ran over to another driver and he grabbed the instructions and came over. He saw that the lights meant LVC so I plugged it up to the computer and found the problem. I had set it to 3 thinking that was three volts. Of course, that's actually 3s. A quick change and I was back in the race.

Well answer my other questions first. I need to know what software? What your settings are? What motor you're using? What wind? Where is the motor timing set? Etc..

Cheers.

Anyone got any figures for 10.5 and 13.5?

Also change your sensor wire.
I got a new sensor wire with one of my motors and it had the same problem. I changed it and the problem was solved.
I have several of them now to have spares.

That the GTB has no problem with the sensor wire is because it only uses to see were the rotor is and goes straight over to sensorless.

The new speedo's all need a good sensor wire.
The Speedpassion sensor wire has given me a lot of trouble. With the LRP sensor wire and the Tekin sensor wire I have never got any problems.
With a bad sensor wire you can run a LRP tc but not the LRP SPX and SXX ss. Also the mamba, the Advanced and other speedo's that run completely sensord will give problems.

I love how the Tekin flashes those two little LED's when you roll the car on the table, so you can know if the sensor is working properly. Helps diagnose problems!
