[Castle 1717 1650 kV Motor, Mamba MMX8S ESC, RCP Extreme Cool 2x40x28 Fans, Promodeler DS635BLHV Servo, 19/46, stock Limitless Body, 2xSMC HCL HP 6500 mah Batteries] [Build Thread]
So this happened once during qualifying yesterday and twice today in the main race. The car would be running fine for 10+ laps, and suddenly I would lose all steering and power. If you turn off the ESC, and power up again, the car seems to be perfectly fine and keeps going. On all three occasions I think the stop was accompanied by a little bump (into the center island or on a kerb) but it might just be because I already lost control.
On all three times, the radio battery was OK (hardly used), the car batteries were still > 3.7V, and the temps when checked with a temp gun seemed to be okay. I unfortunately do not remember if the lights on the ESC were flashing any code.
Here's a plot of today's last run:
Is the "Temperature" the ESC temperature (different from Motor Temperature), and is that what's causing the seeming shutdown?
I have a pretty low Cutoff Voltage, and Motor Temperature Cutoff is disabled:
Any suggestions on what to adjust so I can avoid this in the future?
