Mamba Max 5700 in my T2

The heat is the only thing I can think of. I don't think it's rpm related because it will do it about 2 seconds after I take off from a stop, so the motor isn't wound up all of the way yet. This is on the street so with all of the grip, maybe it's drawing a lot of amps and having the heat issue? It's no big deal, I'd just like to know what it is.

The slight rpm excess won't typically affect anything operationally really - higher rpms are generally going to draw more juice, though. The cutout could be a couple things. If you suspect it is the BEC, disable the controllers BEC and use a receiver pack for a run - if it happens in the beginning of the run, I suspect it isn't heat related(if it happens after running for a bit, it is more likely). Depending on your batteries, it could be voltage drop in the cells, as well. It could also be a servo causing the glitch or a crystal from your radio equipment even. The only way to truly track it down is trial and error.

Thanks mike. Like I said, the problem is only every now and then and I haven't had the system long enough to work it out. I will try those suggestions though.
