Hooked up to a HD4300 motor in my tekno sct 410. I'm using brand new Smc 5000mah batteries. I get about 5 min run time until the ESC will shut down and restart every 30 seconds. I'll have no power, only steering. Once the ESC resets the truck will run just fine again for about 30 seconds and it will cut power and restart again. I know this because one of the guys was standing by the corner of the track when it happens and he hears the ESC restarting. Any ideas why this is happening? I check my batteries right after this happens and they are around 3.8v per cell still.
Make sure your cooling fan is turning on when you first switch on the rx8. You may have the wires plugged in wrong. If the fan is not on it may be hitting the thermal shut off. Once it cools it comes back on and works as normal. I'll bet that is the issue.
