I think there may be something wrong with the esc... I have one that does something similar. It's going back to CC but I haven't sent it yet.

Mine will start doing it after a few minutes... and once it does, it happens over and over. It "reboots"... shuts off and back on. It does a beeping/flashing thing like when it's first turned on... I'm not sure if it's exactly like the same or not. I guess I should have paid closer attention.

I played with it the other day and it will even reboot with just a slight throttle input if there's a high load on the motor, like a foot in front of the car. :)

It can't be a failsafe kicking in... like low voltage, over current, thermal... all vital signs are good. Well, it could be a failsafe, but it's malfunctioning.

It's not supposed to do this and it's never done it before.

Edit: Oh, and I have tried 3 ubecs, 2 batteries, 2 rx's, 2 servos... no luck. Only thing not changed out was the motor and esc.
