Replace the ESC With a Reedy 1000Z same issue same result with the RSX, put a Reedy 510R in same issue any ideas or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
It could be an internal short on the battery which would suck because it's not something easy to fix. If you haven't tried It with a different battery yet.
It could also just be really a poor solder joint and not saying anything against your ability just stating it as a possibility. If it's a cold joint it could heat up quick.
