Brake fade?

[snellemin]

I had a similar problem with 2 MM ESC's. It was smooth, braked hard and I was bragging left and right. Then slowly the brakes faded and I got less power. Cogging would get worse and then one day ....BOOOM!!...ESC smoked. I'm still waiting for my replacement ESC from CC. Brake was always set 50% and drag brake was at 10%. My last ESC blew all 3 caps. And I'm running a fan on my ESC too, making me wonder about the qaulity. My buddy has his ESC since last year and still going with the exact same setup that I have.

Hmm I didn't think of the drag brake, but that could have a very big effect, I spend a lot more time rolling round corners off the throttle than I do with the brakes on.

If it is still faded after a rest then it is not temps like I originaly thought.

My MM has always had occasional but pretty severe cogging at low speed, I hardwired my motor, but my batterys are old and crap so I think they just can't supply the juice needed.

I hope you get to the bottom of it in the end, keep us posted.
