Im still having issues with the motor running too hot and have also noticed that when charging my lipos they are putting in anywhere between 2000-3000mah's.................(the same motor and lipos ran ok in my B44 although using a losi esc at the time) !!!

Ive tried using a different motor which also ran hot as well.......

Ive resoldered all the wires using a better quality solder.......

Any advice on what settings to use, using the programme box ???

I dont actually know what version firmware i have on it but the esc is at least 2 years old.



cheers
