BTW... I have searched... cant find topic. My crawler stops (no power, esc goes dead) when it gets in a bind. If I lift it up, it comes back to life. What gives? Thanks for the help. |

Sounds like you're just stalling the motors when in a bind. If you ran brushless you'd be breaking parts. Also...how old are the motors? Are they in good condition? |

when this (loss of power) happens, the esc shuts down, no steer, no motors, no rear steer... nothing. Lift it up out of the bind and it starts working again. I B.. Sorry, I'm green. What is the "big power cap"? |

Sounds like the servos are stressing the BEC, and it is shutting down.

My brothers Twin would do simular. He wouldn't have to pick it up though,he could just give it a nudge and it'd be off again. He's running 8 GP3300 cells,Super Rooster,stock 27 turn motor and 2 Airtronics 359's. We first thought it was the new motor needed a break in. Ran it under water for a bit....nope,still done it. Tried switching channels......nope,still there. Tried 4 different battery packs.....nope,tried switching recievers.....nope. We added a reciever pack for the servo's and pulled the red wire....walla,runs perfect and has ever since.

yes, it does have the power cap. yes, you can bump it and it will come back to life. the reason I bought the $150 Super Duty is that it was suppose to run the 5645's with its 6 volt 3amps with out the need for a rcvr pack. Was this wrong? |

Bind or no bind,sounds like they are doing the same thing to me. Same problem,same solution......swingy swingy duh   Since yours WAS working,don't you think maybe the BEC went out in the ESC???? It's not like your the only one thats had issues with the LRP ESC. | ||

Thats what I thought with my brothers as well. Brand new Super Rooster shoulda powered the servo's fine......nope. Sometimes things are faulty  We probly could send our SR back and let them fix the BEC. Running a reciever pack is easier for us,so thats what we did.

He is also running 7 cells, kiss the 3 amps BEC goodbye. All ESC's that I know of are rated at 7.2 volts input, not 6 freshly charged cells even. |
