What radio? Did you try to recalibrate the ESC (not likely the issue, but easy)? Were the other battery packs the same voltage as the original one? Do you have the LiPO cutoff set? If so, is it correct for your pack type? |

using a hk radio,and have recalibrated yes...have also tried connecting the esc to another motor,nothing..also tried another esc on the flux,works fine..so thinking the q-base might be toast...:( pretty bad if it cant stand one charge with pretty easy driving too,didnt really drive it hard...have put a xerun 150a in the savage now,works like a charm..  but hoped i could get the q-base working again too,would be great in my formula project.. |

The Q-Base esc is the same as the Mamba Max Pro not the Monster. So the next question is, were you running it on 4S (2X 2S) or 6S (2X 3S)? The Savage 2350 is only 4S compatible even though the instructions for the Q-Base say it will handle 6S. You can contact Castle Creation for advice about returning it. |
