I'm one of the racers that assisted undercut Sunday in trying to get things working.
I've had SP esc's since Dec 08 (first was a GT1.1 lpf).
We re-bind the radio/receiver, re-programed the radio to the esc and re-set the esc to base spec's. All had the same results little to no brakes.
Last time I seen this happen was with a Novak brush esc. It had a burnt smell to it after about five minutes after it lost brakes, undercuts SP esc doesn't have a smell to it. First thing I checked.
