Alright so I got everything installed and did a first run tonight.

There was 1 bug, otherwise it was amazing. After long bursts of full throttle, and sometimes after wheelies and such, and after long bursts of full throttle, when I would let off and it would coast, or even on take off, the ESC would turn off, and then turn back on again and go through its whole arming tone stuff. And I didn't even run use my extra capacitor board and the ESC was only warm to the touch and the motor was slightly warmer and the LiPo's seemed to be just above room temp. (They are 30C constant and 60C burst, two 2S 4000mAh, in series for 4S.)

It could be a loose connection, the on/off switch, or I am pulling too many amps through the ESC. I also have my cutoff set at 13.8volts (I know, I am paranoid), and my theory was that maybe the battery was dipping below cutoff voltage cause the ESC to shut off and then when the voltage recovered the ESC came back on. Not exactly sure what it is though. Does the MM have an overamp cutoff? Maybe my BEC is drawing too much, should I lower the voltage to like 5.5 volts on the BEC?

What do you guys think? I am going to eliminate my on/off switch, I checked the receiver plug to see if it was messed up or loose, and it was fine.


But other than that annoying problem, THIS THING IS A TOTAL BEAST!!! It has some crazy power, will wheelie (if it can get traction) at 3/4 throttle. Haven't tried it on pavement yet but I dont have much doubt that this thing could do a standing backflip on pavement. Its tons of fun and more speed and power than I expected!
