Well, I went to the track to test V2 in X2 today. Inconclusive. The External BEC & mod bits definitely works. However, after a few laps round the track, the truggy stopped. When I went over to check, I noticed that the top cover of the esc had dislocated from the bottom cover. Also noticed that one of the 6.5mm connector on the battery side was very loose. So fixed everything & use some zip ties to tie down the esc. New problem, the truggy was cutting out under throttle like a typical lipo cutoff situation. I check with my multimeter but the battery was fine. I tested the truggy off the ground & it looked ok. I'm kind of puzzled.

Earlier, I had set the lipo cutoff to 15.5V for 5S. I checked just now & it's still there. I changed to auto. Hopefully I can test it again later tonight.

Regards,
Joe Ling
