Raided guys should have clarified, I don mt think it can be voltage or thermal, because it happened within 30 seconds of starting an 8 minute race on Sunday...did 3 times in the first 3 minutes, but then ran the last 5 minutes absolutely fine! So I don't think it's heat related...it could be voltage but I'd have thought that would keep doing it as well...I don't think it's a dry joint as it doesn't do it on jumps, it seems to be if it gets sideways and the wheel speed drops very low, then I apply a lot of power (which I guess DOES suggest voltage).

I think it's a v3 esc, is it worth me disabling the lipo low voltage cutoff in case it is this cutting in? Then trying a cap too (though as mentioned I'm guessing if t was the bec it would kill the steering too)?

The only other thing I can think of is if the esc has a problem..I noticed if its turned on while at my pitting table then it sometimes beeps as if its resetting itself!?
