Novak Ballistic Problem

Having a problem with my ballistic set up. 8.5T motor and running a 5000mah 2c lipo. Freshly charged lipo put in tc5 and runs for about 5-10 mins and then the esc led starts flashing. First the red and amber together twice and then it scrolls through all leds. Help??????

sounds like the BEC is overloading because if i recall those blinkers are the reboot from a shutdown/thermal. if this is the case get a voltage regulator , spektrum makes one "spm1600"

my buddy is running the same setup but with a 4500mah lipo with now problems. Is this happening cuz im running a larger lipo?

if its a thermal issue ,perhaps. but if its the BEC/low voltage issue then i wouldnt think so

its a temp issue with esc i think cuz i let it sit for a couple minutes and i have full function agian. Im using car for drifting, does anyone know what gears i should run, spur/pinion set up

So i called novak today and they said that is may because im running a 20c 5000mah lipo. Who else is running this motor set up and what are they running for lipos??????
