What going on under that electrical tape?

Have you removed the red wire from the ESC?

The red wire from the ESC must be unplugged when using the BEC.

yotachump 03-17-2008 03:31 PM
does your ESC work fine without the BEC or does the ESC still get hot?

im running 8 cells and i think its shorting out the mamba 25 because it will work for those couple of seconds but once it gets hot nothing. so dose anybody think if I get a mamba max that this will fix the problem?

What cant be seen in those pictures is how you have the little on/off switch wired up. How do you have it hooked up? could you get a picture of that also please?

If the ESC still heats up and shuts off even with the BEC unplugged, The problem is the ESC I would say.

Do you have another ESC to test with? I believe the Mamba is toast.

Nova's Ark 03-18-2008 08:59 AM
I hope this is not the ESC you are trying to sell in the classified section:roll:.
