Novak Ballistic Problem

Having a problem with my ballistic set up. 8.5T motor and running a 5000mah 2c lipo. Freshly charged lipo put in tc5 and runs for about 5-10 mins and then the esc led starts flashing. First the red and amber together twice and then it scrolls through all leds. Help??????

sounds like the BEC is overloading because if i recall those blinkers are the reboot from a shutdown/thermal. if this is the case get a voltage regulator , spektrum makes one "spm1600"
