Help Issue With Mamba Max Esc

[mambarustler]

Hey guys,
Well I bought a Slash 4X4 PE last week after I sold my slash 2wd and my crt.5 roller. So I install my mamba max, medusa 36-50 3300KV motor, 3pm 2.4ghz system, and I noticed a problem. The truck drives perfectly but after a while of turning I start to loose power to steering only, also the fan on the motor and esc stop. Whats causing this? If needed I can make a video for better clarification.

Thanks In Advanced.

Let me guess: you're running on 3s lipo right? If so, the BEC is overheating. Disable the BEC (remove red wire) and use an external one.

[mambarustler]

Yup 3s lipo. But why would it start doing that now? I have been running the internal BEC since I bought it new. (About 2 or 3 years)

[BrianG]

Differences in airflow, more load turning the wheels (heavier vehicle?), weakened BEC from running hot in previous setups, etc.

Esc had been run in a rustler and a slash 2wd before with no problems. Ooh well I knew I was pushing it using the internal BEC, time for an external CC BEC.
