red and green blinking means sensorless? Those are the lights that flash when mine has problems after landing a jump

I imagine the motor timing is turned up? Possibly a bit too much?
But your losing sensor connectivity and the esc is dropping into sensorless operation. To confirm this check the LED's when this happens and if the red/green are blinking that indicates sensorless mode. There are only a red and green led.

Also how's your esc mounted? Recommend to have a couple pieces of double sided tape under to help absorbe some of the impact.

Don't know if anyone else is having any issues with their high voltage steering servos running the SCT pro ESC, but if you are I thought I would mention what you need to do to fix it.
Since unfortunately you cannot adjust the BEC power from the stock 6v @ 3amps, when you get half way through a pack, you may notice a loss in steering with a "mushyness". This happened to me several times and cost me a few races before I realized the culprit was the internal BEC.
I personally run a Futaba HV9352 for my steering and that bad boy loves the juice.
I originally added a capacitor thinking it was just a surge loss, but fact is the ESC just can't muster the current needed and the motors needs at the same time.
To fix this, I ended up bypassing the ESC's BEC with an external unit from Castle creations. > CC adjustable BEC
Once I did this, I hooked the BEC up to a laptop with the castle link and programmed it to have an output of 7.4v
The results have been fantastic and I can now get the full 305 oz-in or torque @ .06 speed that this servo was intended to provide.
The second awesome thing is the fact I have reduced the load on the ESC to boot.

Hi, I know this thread has 1/10 and 1/8 in the title, but couldn't really find a better place to ask (and the Falcon Sekido support link actually directs to this specific thread). I just saw the new Ezrun Max5 and Max6:
and was wondering what the kv limits (in table below) are based on exactly. Is it purely the max commutation speed, i.e., max Electrical RPM (ERPM) the ESC supports? If not, what would be the max ERPM I could use? More specifically, at what RPM would the Max5 and Max6 be able drive a 6-pole TP56xx or TP58xx motor (http://www.tppowerusa.com/motors/bui...tp-58xx-series )?
Thanks!
- Ezrun MAX6: $159.99, http://www.falconsekido.com/products/xerun-xr6-esc (confusing url... Xerun XR6!?...)
- Ezrun MAX5: $259.99, http://www.falconsekido.com/products/ezrun-max5-esc

will the sct-pro esc run a 540 motor without hurting it ??

Hi,
I have the Xerun SCT pro ESC. On weekends, the regulator has simply no longer works after two rounds. When you turn it briefly lights up green and then just red without a beep. I tried to calibrate the controller new, but unfortunately can not calibrate the receiver setup the controller. I´ve tried another receiver - the same problem - no calibrating, no beep.
I´ve got the programming box, can i refresh the firmware on the ESC with it?
Need help
Thanks in advance

Id be looking at the sensor board in the motor and cleaning it off to make sure there is no grease or oil from the rear bearing on the sensor board. Motor cleaner works well, then just a tiny drop of oil for the bearing from the back side.

I was reading and the power Output for the sct pro is the exact same as the 120A V3.1 .
