|  lipo to big? I am running a quark 33 and crawlmaster with a 3 cell lipo 11.1v. It works with the 8cell 2/3a packs but not the lipo. The lipo is a flight powered evo lite 2500 mah 18 c continous 28 c burst. Could it be something as simple as the lipo putting out too much power??  |

| Sounds like it is going into thermal,is the ESC hot? does it start working again after it cools down. If so you may need to gear down for the 3 cell. |

Ditto. The crawlmaster is big, you might have it overgeared. Otherwise your ESC could be going on the fritz | |

| Yea, I have to go with over heating or something here, because I'm running the Scorpion 3014 (same size as the crawlermaster, a little faster) on a quark33 with a 3 cell 2100 lipo and it's (dare I say it?) as perfect a combo as I can imagine. |
