has anyone experienced this can iI add a cap or just turn down boost?
What is a safe amount of boost and turbo. sensor wire has not come unplugged and motor temp has been below 135
thanks

Ive also been having the same issue! FT 44.1 Been running a 7.5 with my Tekin RS it also has seen temps both Motor and ESC around 150 degrees. Absobluty no boost and from what Ive been told the temps on motor are in range. But I cant recall my ESC ever getting that warm. I have also added an additional capacitor/power cap on the receiver. I seem to be able to get really close to five min main and as you said it sometimes shuts down or just feels like a spit second loss of power and then comes right back after a second or two.

Going to look at the sensor wire start with that but the motor is also first generation Novak so maybe that is also the problem. Cant remove the sensor wire!

I checked all the wires including sensor wires. Power Cap on ESC is solid BTW how does one tell if the power cap is or has gone bad. Also running an additional power cap on the receiver!
