I just had to take the 1800mAh 20C 3S pack outside again with the setup (16T pinion, btw). After about 10 minutes the car stopped and then I remembered the temps... Darn! The motor was so hot I couldn't even touch it, SW almost the same and battery too very hot.

Went inside and let the system cool down a bit. Connected the battery again and the car moved for a short while and stops again (at this point my guess is the ESC and motor are ok). I connected the battery once more and what does SW say? "Beep-beep" (auto-lipo -setting is selected). Well, my 3S became 2S

.

Anyway... The car flies (my standard; my first brushless race car) and therefore I couldn't care less if one $25 1800mAh pack was dead. It was worth it!

Hopefully I learned something today (to buy better equipment and to watch the temperatures)
