VXl LVC issue

[schofield]

i have a vxl with what appears to be a bad LVC. she will run for a few minutes then stutter and conk out. im running NMhd batts so the LVC is not needed. after it stops it resets the ESC to have the lvc on and i cant set it to have it shut off. is there any way to disconnect the LVC so it never comes on? or should i just bite the bullet and spend the $45 to have to replaced/repaired by traxxas? i have replaced all connectors.

Weird.

Sounds like it is possesed- shouldnt be turning itself off then reseting with the lvc turned on. I think the lvc is part of the actual pcb, rather than a seperate entity inside the esc, so removing or disabling it is probably impossible. I would rather replace the esc with an MM, but $45 to have it repaired makes more sense financially. If it was faulty like that though, wouldnt they repair it for free as a warrenty issue (unless its over 12 months old)?

30 days is their warranty period and its only $20 sorry the $40 is if i had replaced the traxxas connector with another brand.

i guess its going in. they will probably just replace it (thats what the traxxas man said)

30 day warrenty? Man, they mustnt have much faith in either their esc or their customers
