I need help with my LiSaver that I bought from Mike, here's the story (also mailed to Mike):
---
When I first connected it to my E-Maxx truck BEC side (stock radio and Hv-Maxx ESC, MaxAmps 8000 LiPo) it worked fine for about 30-40 seconds after that the truck wouldn't move. I disconnected the Li Saver and all worked ok. Connected the Li saver back up and it "puffed" and a slight sign of white smoke appeared. I let the Li saver sit for a while (30 minutes) moved it bit off from other electronics and now it seems to work but I have doubts if I can trust it or not.

After this incident I havent really ran my truck due to a radio change got the new 3Pm 2.4GHz in. Since I wanted to verify the LiSaver I tried it out with my 7 cells NiMh's.
All is fine when running 7 cells NiMh's without the LiSaver.
If I hookup the LiSaver however strange things happens.
Transmitter is turned on first then the car.
The car is idle for about 2 seconds but after that it's FULL THROTTLE !!!
I just barely managed to save it from slamming into a brick wall.
And all this is without me even touching the transmitter which as I said is turned on.
I have reproduced this three times, the last two with the pinion off :-)
If I remove the LiSaver all is working as expected. I have a masters in Electrical Engineering so I am not all lost among the wires in my car.
Should I need to reprogram the ESC when LiSaver is connected - I can see why ?
Any other ideas ?
