ok race day my losi kept cutting out?

i landed on my lid and pushed the heat sink on my mm in a bit, after that i put the medusa in there, come race day it would totally lose everything, steering, throttle everything. for one second, then it would go again, today i ran a whole pack through and it didnt do it once? but i did change the pack,. but how could the pack do that? im bewildered right now!

I would guess this is the CC BEC not being able to supply enough volts to the RX under load. You could try adding a glitch buster to the rx.

hmm... my ls10 "dies" sometimes after a big chassis slap landing but only everyonce and awhile. i pick it up and actually throw it back down on the ground to make the chassis slap agian and its comes back to life, sometimes i dont have to do this and it comes back before i get to it. is this the ccbec getting banged around causeing it to come on and off?

i will try adding the capacitor in the calculations page diagram. and see if i can get it to do it agian. any way to do it when im already using my aux/batt slot to plug in the bec? steering is ch1 and esc is ch2 and i dont have a 3rd channel??? where does the 1,000uf cap go?

A servo Y cable

[rootar]

which channel will i "Y" the throttle, steering, or aux/batt channel? i also have a slot for the bind plug but im pretty sure i cant put it there or it would always be trying to bind.

Shouldn't matter which channel,,,

[rootar]

if that solves the problem then i must have a bad bec becasue all it is running is a specktrum reciver and a standard 50oz servo.

hey get your own thread! lol kidding, it was doing it on the flat to

[rootar]

sorry lol, mine has never done it on flat only when running hard but i think we have something to do with the same problem, im definetly not paying 12 bucks for a cap i will just splice it into the servo leads. which would jsut be the same thing.

I had an issue where my Hyper8 would cut out and it turned out to be a crappy BEC unit. It was simply overheating.

However, if the cutting out is caused by physical movement, you surely have a loose wire, cracked PCB, or something similar causing an intermittent break in contacts.
