Problem with my Receiver or ESC
#1
Hello,
I am having problems with my electronics... Every time I go out and run my car it just shuts off like it thermals, but it is not getting hot... sometimes it happens a couple minutes in my run or sometimes it doesn't do it at all... Somne people say its the Receiver or the Speed Control.... What could be the problem? I have a big race this weekend and need help Fast!!!! I have checked all my battery connections and they are good... Im running Futaba FASST, with a LRP Brushless ESC, Orion Servo and Motor...
Any help appreciated !!!
Thanks

There have been probs with the FAAST rx overheating. It has an onboard IC chip that can overheat. Are you running it inside a rcvr box? Solution I've seen posted is to turn it on its side and make sure it gets cooling air.
