HOBBYWING TECH SUPPORT 1/8 & 1/10 OFF ROAD
#6001

With the SCT Pro, if the car suddenly drives very slowly, is that the low voltage cutoff kicking in or is that overheat protection ?
I thought my battery was empty, but when I got home and charged it it only took 3600mAh while it's a 7200mAh battery (voltage was 7.9v). That seems a little early for LVC to kick in ? (LVC set to 3.2v ..)
So I figure it could have been overheating, but I thought that overheat protection would shut it down completely, not drive it very slowly ?
Edit: my 2nd (7000mAh) battery only takes 1800mAh :-/

What leds do you have lighting up (what colour) .Also check and replace your sensor cable .Drop your low voltage cut off to 3.0v- 3.2v .One of the above checks will fix your issue.
Also update your firmware to the latest from your pc usb link remembering the firmware is by date

I'm running a Losi SCTE, 13 pinion, 39 spur, with the latest HW firmware. Haven't seen any lights blinking, but if they only blink for a moment I might have missed that. I'll drop my LVC to 2.8 and use a spare (new) sensor cable tomorrow, see how it goes.
Thanks !
Thanks !

Im having a real frustrating tome with Falconsekido rma procedure. Im trying to find the address to send my esc in for repair and the cite says its on the rma form, well guess what the one I downloaded the other day there is no such address. This is really aggravating I could have had my esc out 2 weeks ago but because of the unclear wording and explanation on the cite its taken till now that im ready to send it in and even then I still cant. Sorry for the vent but I just want my esc to get fixed.

Well the first time I emailed them I followed the rma procedure on the web. I got a response back to try the company I purchased it from first as its not from a falcon dealer. I contacted the company I got it from, dont want to send it to china. Reemailed them saying id rather go through them and whatever I needed to pay was fine. Got a responce back to follow rma procedure re read the rma page and re emailed them on how exactly to do non warranty repair basically said read rma page. Well the rma page says to download form but doesnt say what to do with it. And it also says the address tp send it to is on the form which it isn't. The rma procedure for non falcon dealer products is very unclear and poorly explained

I mean if is a non warranty repair from an out of dealer network seller y would the rma procedure be different. If I knew there was a us based dealer network I would have bought it through them. It just seems to me as a company I would try to be as helpful as possible and for emails ive gotten almost automated responces that aren't very helpful. So I dont know if im suposed to get a ra number or anything the cite doesnt say
