We are close to cut off using 5000mah batteries in a 5 min race.
The new software uses a lot more mah compared to the old pre supercharge versions.
Only other possibility is temp cut off which you can disable and try but do check that esc is not getting hot.
I have the cutoff set at 3.2V always, in all my ESC's.
The problem with the "small" batteries, is that the bike fairing is too narrow in the bottom to accommodate any bigger mah batteries! So... only 3200/3300s can be used effectively! I even tried "naked" 4000mah cells but they are too wide to fit, even though they are quite slim.
However, after the 3-minute mark that the "cutoff" happened, the batteries both ran another or two sessions of 3 minutes. The 3300 came on the cutoff, after about 10 minutes, which is fair.
(The bike races will be 7 minutes).
Also, when testing the previous SC it would not behave similarly and allowed a 10 or more minute runtime...
Of course I can give it a bit lower gearing, since the top speed is more than enough, really and the exit-from-slow-corners punch could be a bit more... gearing-dependend, the old fashion way!
But this will have to wait till tomorrow and the weekend!
