I'm curious what your cell voltages are when you pull it off after this, also how many mah you're putting back in when charging.....
Its not thermal. The motor is warm to the touch, not hot, and the esc is plenty cool

Should be. It was a running change about 7-8 months ago.

Everytime I put a fully charged battery in the truck it would run just fine for about 5 min until the constant reboots would happen. Especially at the end of the long straight and braking hard into the corner.
remember that when we pulled it off and connected a cell checker to the balance tap, voltage dropped to 3.6V and that was just revving the truck with no load. Hitting the brakes at the end of the straight pulls a lot of amps as does accelerating coming onto the straight, so its a high amp draw right after another. Im guessing the battery is getting low and cant supply the voltage thru the BEC with the spectrum RX and Savox servo.

Rx8 is programmed thru either the port on the side of the case or through the RX lead.
