I can't fully understand which ESC you are running, but a blinking green indicates the ESC is getting too hot.
"Over-Heat Protection: If the function is activated, the output power will be cut-off when the temperature of
the ESC or the internal temperature of the sensored brushless motor is higher than a factory-preset value for 5
seconds. When the protection happens, the Green LED will flash.
When the ESC is over-heat: The Green LED flashes as “-,-,-”.
When the motor is over-heat: The Green LED flashes as “--,--,--”."
Edit...do you mean Silver Arrow V2?

1. It still works and runs so isn't shutting down, and
2. The esc is only at 120 and the motor at 140
It's a constant fast green/yellow flashing rather than as above, could it be that it's losing the sensor somehow!?

Does anyone have a gearing recommendation for the 13.5MMM in a losi 22 buggy. I race on a decent size indoor track. Gearing it the same as my Novak 13.5 seemed to be too large of pinion so I'd like to figure out what is recommended.

Hi, it is the Silver Arrow v2 yes...but I don't think it is thermal as:
1. It still works and runs so isn't shutting down, and
2. The esc is only at 120 and the motor at 140
It's a constant fast green/yellow flashing rather than as above, could it be that it's losing the sensor somehow!?

Strange...
In general it could be ESC overheat...you temped fine. Motor overheat...you temped fine.
Only other things to check or sensor board and possibly weak RX signal. If it dropped from sensor to sensorless mode it would be red and green flashing...so yellow/green is strange.
If you can swap the sensor board out and see if that resolves it. Not sure if you have another one, but try running a different motor and see if the flashing still exists after the run.

I must be missing something on the website, but I have a question on the Revention. What do you need to do to the S or R series to put it into blinky mode.
What are the benefits more than the amps of the R series over the S?

You just upload stock0 firmware, that is blinky firmware and I passed roar test at short course showdown. Well 45amps to 70Amps is pretty big, 45amps is probably around a 10.5 motor limit in a heavy sc truck where as 70 amps could run 7.6-6.5 in a heavy sc truck and possibly a bit more in lighter weight buggy.. Just the ability to run a cooler setup and possibly not pushing your esc to its limits thus hopefully preventing premature failure.

I believe that it will be fine, although 6.5 in a 4x4 buggy will be getting close to pushing the esc limits but just check the temps and you should be fine. It will have the power that's no problem.

From what I have heard, about 2 weeks. I'm not a speed passion rep though so please don't quote me on that, just what I have been hearing. Also I believe the wifi and Bluetooth modules will be available shortly as they were just awaiting FCC approval.
