I'm having a problem with my Edge ESC stopping at about the 8-9 minute mark in a 10 minute race. Steering servo still operates, but no drive to the motor. The problem is fixed by turning ESC off then on. Motor is a 21.5 Revtech in an F1 car. Spektrum radio and Futaba servo. After a 10 minute race, ESC was 90 degrees and motor was ~120.

Seems to do it randomly although did it two times in three runs at a race recently. Car would just stop in the middle of the track and I had to tell the marshal to turn off then on so I could continue the race. Not sure what error lights are blinking as after the marshal turns it off/on, everything is ok again. I plan to call/email Novak tomorrow but just wanted to see if anyone was having issues. Love the speed control, but it's very frustrating to have it ruin races!
Are you using the glitch buster capacitor? I highly recommend this addition. My edge had similar issues. Installed the capacitor and everything has been fine ever since.
