Best Guess? Why does it keep cutting out?
I have an RC8.2e. With a Hobbywing 150a ESC. I'm running 4s on it.
When I run it, the vehicle slows down, and then gradually stops completely and then after about 2 seconds, it'll kick back to full power again, and I'll see the green light on the ESC. When it's stopped, it doesn't matter whether I have my finger still on trigger or not. It always comes back to life and I get full power again.
I don't have my thermogun handy or a different set of batteries so I'm going to ask you guys for a "Best Guess" type of response...
I don't believe it's the low voltage cut off coming on. The batteries seem sound. This buggy does this even after a full charge, volt meter shows over 15 v. I have looked for a blinking red light from the ESC, but fact is, when the vehicle stalls for a few seconds, the red or green LEDs are not lit.
There's no binding in the drive train and when I put my finger on the motor, the esc and batteries, none of these feel hot. So I don't think some other protection feature is kicking on....
Any suggestions? I am going to try to reprogram the ESC and see if that helps, but I'm not sure what the problem would be....
Thanks, guys. I'm hoping someone has seen this exact same set of problems before and knows what it is.
