I was about to go out and test my new Tekin system after changing my shocks and center diff but I only manage to run 10 feet nefore the ESC stopped. No sounds, no smoke, nothing. I ran it last Sunday afternoon 1 pack for 12 minutes) and I was raving how smooth it was compared to the Castle system but now it's dead. I have 2 more spares so I'm going to solder and install another one so I'm hoping it will not die too.

This sucks.

My setup are as follows:

Hyperion 5S 4300mah 25C lipo
46/15 with 20k oil on CD
Kyosho ST RR
Hitec 5955TG servo

Everything but the LVC is default. 4th light is on when connected to the Hotwire.

Edit: So I thought that my RX8 is dead but apparently it's not. I connected another battery and everything worked. With this in mind, I pulled out my Fluke multimeter and checked the voltage of the Hyperion. I got a reading of 16 volts when it was just freshly charged. I checked the cells on the balancer and one of the cells read 1.17V while the other 4 were reading 4.18.

So all is well.... False alarm

.

By the way, on the MMM, it's punch control. What is it on the RX8?
