Ok, I now know what it's doing but not what it means, does anyone know:

When I steer quickly you can see slight dimming of receiver/tp light.

However, what happens is when I turn the esc on it initially double beeps and flashes green/yellow, then a couple seconds later it does it again, then a few seconds later beeps 3 times and all green/yellow/red flash together at the same time, then it works! I just tested it on a bench and it stays working as I stop/start at low revs, but if I then wiggle the steering back and forth heavily and let the revs drop it dies...then goes through the beeps/lights procedure again! So it's like it's resetting the esc and forcing it back into startup mode...

...anyone know why!? It's either lipo cutoff or bec voltage I guess??
