OK,
I ran the car with new sensor wire, same problem after 7:30 mins. Then I took body off and pushed the wires about, it started, I pushed them some more then it wouldn't start. Then I noticed that the
ORANGE
wire was rather hot compared to the rest of the wires. I measured the
Blue
&
Yellow
and they were both about 32 celcius, then I measured the
ORANGE
and it was 76 celcius!, but only over the
Corally Connector!
The rest of the
Orange
wire wasn't that hot about 5 or 6 c closer to the connector and a couple of degrees hotter than the other two wires. Now the
Orange
wire also has a gap where it is soldered to the ESC and when taken apart there seem to be heat scorching on the
Corally Connectors.
Now could this whole thing be caused by
(I assume this is unusual)
unusually hot connector?
(1)
Why is this connector so hot?
(2)
Could this be the answer: Connector gets very hot & thus looses connection?
(3)
If I put on a new connector will it just happen again?
See pics below for further help.
