MMM 0.5 second shutdown on 6s

[shaunjohnson]

yeah i understand where all you guys are comming from.
zippy not top-of-line.
but me and my friend try really hard to drive setup friendly, meaning low amp draw setups and no hard punching of the throttle.
i think my punch is set at 80% and the throttle curve is pretty gradual.
i know i might seem like a bit of a A hole but im not ready to blame it on batts yet

and yeah i kinda didnt make my statment about the medusa thing properly
the castle/neu is a tougher motor, but the medusa runs a bit cooler and has much less cogging, but it lacks rebuildability and prolly has smaller main bearings.

power lines...well we both run spektrum DSM 1 systems (DX2 and DX3s) and he has no power lines at his place...

so hte only thing left is hte LVC like you guys said...and again, no make sence to me as we dont push the batts hard (for that 50mph setup it is a pretty gradual wind up to top speed)

What is your LVC set at? and how many cycles are on your packs?

Just for the record, I run an E-revo with gearing ranging from 40-65mph and never hit LVC (because of amp spikes, I have because of runtime) with more aggressive settings on a MMM. Normal timing, no punch control, linear throttle curve. I use a 3.3V/cell cutoff, and have used Zippy-r (4800mah), Zippy flightmax (5000mah), and Enerland (5000mah) based packs in these setups. The Zippy-r and Enerland packs have about 100 cycles and still work, their IR has gone up so the punch is less, but they still work.

if the castle motor cogs worse than a medusa on a Mamba Monster, then there is obvously something wrong unless you are refering to absolutely no cogging with the medusa and are otherwise very picky. if your batteries aren't up to task (well they may not be for the castle-neu even if they are for the medusa) then you might get increased cogging. Also note the possibility of the zippy solder tabs on the verge of breaking. The construction quality of those packs seem questionable, and a poor connection anywere will cause cogging. A poor connection anywhere on the battery side will cause the lvc to kick in under a load.

yeah you are right about the zippy pack construction...that's why after i killed one and discovered this issue...all of my packs have special treatment, they have all been re-soldered with deans solder and the ends dipped in plasti-dip (too bad if i have to re-solder again ) to make em water resistant.

my LVC is set ay 3.2v on auto lipo

yeah i'm pickey with the cogging thing...not that it matters..just cool to have less the castle motor is pretty good and i'm not dissing it but when you commence startup of the motor it coggs a tiny wini bit more than the medusa.
