Flashing red light on speed passion pro

[Jimbob2911]

Evening,

Just starting out with electric cars. Just finished building b44.1 with speed passion pro and 7.5 turn speed passion sensored motor.

Everything seems to work ok but the speed controller red and orange light start solid but once I accelerate once the red light just constantly flashes. The orange stays solid.

I am running lipo 2s 5100mah which are fully charged. The book says red flashing light means low voltage but doesn't seem like it is this due to fully charged battery.

Any ideas?

Thanks James

Lipo cut off maybe set wrong???

Turn both the lipo cut off voltage off along with the overheat protection. Just don't run the car for any longer than 5-7 mins on a fresh battery and it'll be fine.

how old is the motor, new or second hand? as if it works once then the lights come on that could be a problem, I used to swear by SP motors,(always second hand to keep costs down) but I have been let down by connector and sensor board problems way before the rest of the motor has seen better days.

It is all brand new out of box. Just the b44.1 used rolling chassis. Even with light flashing it seems to operate fine.

Thanks

Which speed passion is it?

Col is possibly onto something

i was troubled by a similiar issue with a speed passion eventually worked out it was a "stock" speedo and the flashing led couldnt be switched off
