Reedy "Black Box" esc

Tech Adept
This is kinda of an odd problem, I have one lipo that works flawless and another that doesn't. This esc runs first fast on the problem pack; then really slow for a short period. Then it goes fast again. I had assumed if there is anything wrong with a pack somehow (unbelievably) then the esc screws up.
I'm just assuming something is wrong with the lipo; any thoughts?

I can't believe this now, first never could get the esc right to add power to the motor then a guy from are helped with that and I only ran this 3 times and now the a wire and metal plate fell of the capasitors fell off and I know its not abused or even came close to get hot enough to do that

Hello everyone, need a little help I just set up a B5M with a reedy blackbox and 17.5 sonic. I calibrated and set up to program #1. After 2min of driving the car it drops down to only 1/2 the speed. I turn off my radio and turn back on then the car will be back to normal for about 2more mins.
Even when the car is running at top speed seems a little slow. Gearing 34/69
Please post if anyone has any ideas.
Thanks

Well I am running the black box in my d413 it is 4wd and I have 10.5 reedy sonic Mach 2 motor I had been having tons of issues with this esc I am still stumped with the thing today I just maxed it all out because I need speed and the stock settings were like watching paint dry also broke my buggy three times each fi was over 20 buck to repair. Not even including the time other fellow racers spent helping me trouble shoot sensor wires reciever box And re programming the endpoints and calibration was also redon. Remote is all maxed out also with having everything at 100%

When calibrating it say to put end points to 100, what if your radio goes to 150 ? Do you set it at 100 or 150

Does anyone have any settings for 13.5 boosted, 2s TC for indoor on carpet, FDR between 7-7.5. The track is technical with a 30m straight. Motor timing is set at 30 degrees.
I'm unsure what levels to set the boost rpm etc to as a starting base line. Then which way to go to make things more aggressive or smoother.
Any help would be appreciated. Looking forward to using this esc.

I had this same problem. The OEM soldier on the negative lead was cracked. A local AE driver, Tommy Hinz, completely resoldier the entire speedo. All is well after that.

Both of mine shut off at random times.. I used my buggy for turf nats.. Went to track today ...nothing, I believe its a on/off button problem,..
