I'm confused. They are 4.2v
per cell or is that the pack voltage? Because 4.2v
per cell is close to fully charged. At 4.2v for the whole pack, yowza - that's way too low. The lipo shutoff should be about 6.6v.
When your saying it could be a problem with the motor, could it be the timing I have in it that could be playing a part in this whole thing? It's a reedy sonic 550 4.5 with 10 degrees of advanced timing.
Might be. Do you have the timing in on the speed control or is it on the motor?

I don't believe it.
