I ran my R8/1950 Orion system for the first time last night in a Kyosho Mp9 tki2 wc ebuggy. With the stock 46 spur and 15 pinion the speed and torque felt pretty good although not as robust as my Tekin Rx8/1900 combo that I usually run. I did have an issue from the very beginning.......the esc or motor would cut back to about half power at certain parts of the track but mainly the straight. It wouldn't do it until after a few laps. The batteries were fine and balanced(TP G6 Pro Race 5300 60c), the rx was a spektrum and I even installed a cap and the same thing occurred. I looked at the program with the box and it is at default settings. I replaced the sensor with two different ones and the problem was still there. It was not until I pulled the sensor wire off entirely that the issue went away. I do not want to run sensorless so I would love to know what is causing this. The motor temps were 130-169 throughout the night depending on length of run time. The esc temps were very cool.

Any ideas????????
