Guys there is a lot of speculation here and none of it official from Tekin. DCM and Harlow are correct in the sense that it doesn't sound like the esc.
Shutdowns can be hard to diagnose but here are a few things to look for:
1. Do you have steering?
2. Did you loose steering when the shut down occured?
3. How many minutes into the run?
4. Did the car loose speeed prior to the shutdown?
A few things to understand. The BEC circuit powers the motor sensors as well as ANYTHING else plugged into it: Servo, receiver, personal transponder, fan if equipped,etc.
Some of today's servos can yank more power than ever. How else to they attain these crazy speeds and torque right? This can overwhelm the "standard" 3 amp bec at times. Some of the receivers out right now also cannot handle this load as the filtering system in them also get's "browned out" and will cause a reset.
During such a reset we will "wait" until we see a solid neutral signal. Until this occurs we will do nothing.
95% of today's 4wd cars are shaft driven. I run a Durango Dex410 and have been for well over a year now. No issues.
So please post what radio/servo/motor you're using and I will look to help you diagnose your issue.
