All items are brand new:
MBX7R Eco
Savox 1258
LRP Dynamic 2000KV
LRP ix8
5000 50C 4s
Airtronics MT4 (used / works perfect)

I'm having a serious issue with the ix8. On the very first run it just shut off at wide open throttle. I first thought it was the battery since the ESC went into voltage cut-off mode. I checked the battery and its charged as well as balanced. When it falls into "safe or low voltage mode" I can turn off the ESC and turn it right back on and it's fine until wide open throttle. I turned down the EPA to 50% and no problems. Anything above 50% it just shuts down into safe mode. I'm nearly at the point of tossing it out and just getting a RX8 gen 2. It's frustrating as heck for a brand new $189 ESC to have issues like this. Have any of you had this problem with the ix8? If so, what's the fix?

Thanks.
