Sidewinder SC esc issue - 03.02.2011, 11:41 PM

Ok, running the sc system in a 2wd pede. On 3s lipo with low gearing. Top speed should be around 40.

This is my 3rd run with the system, after it blew up the tranny on the 2nd run (hehehe!).

Went out and for about 3mins the power was good, but top speed was slow, say around 30. Figured it was a cold lipo so I gave it a few half throttle passes and just goofed off. Tried again for full throttle and the motor was surging, and then it died off to about 5mph max. A couple seconds later I had no throttle, but still had steering. The yello (amber) led was flashing.

Thought that was the lvc indication (wrong, I know that now) and put the batt on charge and plugged the esc into castle link. Updated to the newest firmware and set the lvc to auto with a 3.2v setting.

I have not run it again as I ran out of time, but I since read the led meanings sticky and the flashing yellow is an esc issue.

Could someone tell me what to do now? I can test it again tomorrow when the lipo is fully charged, but...

Thanks.
