|  Timbuk2 Wraith Edition Problem?
The esc will sometimes turn on & operate just fine for a few min then shut off at random, no lights at all on the esc and spark when the battery is connected. The esc power and BEC switches dont seem to have much to do with it! Very random. I've tried 4 different batteries with the same results - 2s & Nickel metal.

What servo and what receiver? I'd guess you probably need an external BEC.

The receiver is a Traxxas 2.4ghz, the bec is the one that comes from Novak in the Wraith edition Timbuk2 & the servo is a hitec HS-645MG

I emailed Charlie at Novak & received a very quick reply suggesting the issue could be a connection issue. I traced it to a solder made by the previous owner. Now it works great, very smooth! Thanks Charlie & Novak!! |

Side by side of a stock wraith and the 13.5 wraith edition does it crawl good and is it much faster than stock? Also what gearing are you running?

I put in the Timbuk2 Wraith Edition (w/ 2S Lipo) and had terrible shuttering if you nailed it from a stand still. I suspect this to be in the Rock Boost settings, but while investigating that, the damn thing started smoking....too late. It fried and melted the connections. The same exact thing happened to my friends Timbuk2 Wraith Edition. The one common link between our Rigs is that we are both running Savox digital servos. IDK.....frustrated for now.
