Thanks. It's a 120a HW sct Pro. Punch as low as possible. Lvc 3.2v. 0 timing. Haven't tried removing the sensor cable yet. My last esc was 60a and sensorless. It would overheat or at least stop for a break after about 10mins or so.
I'll aim to get a temp gun.
The car rolls very freely and all wheels turn without resistance. The only thing is the dog bones and outdrives are old but wouldn't think they are causing to much problem. The gear mesh is almost too loose.
Batteries are 5000ma 45c Peak racing
I am starting to think the it might be the Lvc but I don't think the batteries are 'wrong'. They should be good for 225a. And they do not get warm. Also no wiring gets warm that I have noticed. Had a dirty connector one time that heated the battery wire but that's clean now and cool.
I have heard the sct Pro can be funny with its Lvc.
Any ideas are welcome.
