Was practicing some Mod12 with an HW 1S Pro speedo and HW 3.5T. Around 15 laps in the boost became inconsistent. On the back straight it wouldn’t kick-in. Then maybe a lap or two later it would kick back in. Also, no fan on speedo. It was warm and could hold my finger on it for 5-10 secs. Any thoughts on what might be happening?
Using the same ESC with a 3.5T I had similar issues. Feedback from others led me to suspects the voltage cutoff was kicking in some how, and after disabling it my problems went away. Afterwards I was more cautious when it came to esc settings and run length in practice as I didn't want to kill my battery.
