I also used a Team Powers 17.5T to rule stuff out. I have the profile set on 6, brushless. The problem is that, intermittently, the ESC would stop for about 5 seconds, still have servo. It acts like the Hall sensor harness wasn’t plugged in. But it was. I even installed a brand new wire harness before the main. At about the 3 minute mark, it died again. Waited about 5 seconds and it came back to life. Finished the race from there. I don’t think it is thermal, because once it does it, it is fine from then on.

During practice it did it after a few seconds. And everytime I did, I made sure the sensor harness was plugged in on both sides. Just no rhyme or reason as to when it does it.

I wasnt geared near as fast as some of the other guys on the straight away, and they didnt thermal or cut out or anything. My drive train is smooth.

Any suggestions or should I just send it in?
