Loss of power and steering

[topperj]

Hi

When running my Associated RC8e I constantly get problems with steering and throttle response after about 6 - 7 minutes of runnning.

It comes and goes.

I'm running the Mtroniks G2 Beast ESC and P2 Beast brushless motor 3000kv; 2x2s Reedy 4900 Lipos.

Any ideas why it's happening.

I've added a fan to the motor to help keep it cool.

Help?

What radio you running, and after 6-7 mins, what is the voltage of your two packs combined?

Spektrum DX3.0

Haven't tested the voltage although I did replace Reedy Lipos with some newly charged Lipos and only managed 1 minute until it started happening again.

I found the same problem the last sunday setting up a d8t with a new savox servo. I remember having the problem in my 1/10 a while ago.
The servo is taking to much power from the reciever and it is sesetting itself. I pluged in a spektrum regulator and it solved the it straight away.

It sounds like your Spektrum receiver is shutting down, you need to either run a power cap on the receiver or use a receiver pack.

Receiver pack I understand

What's a Power Cap

Just worked out what a Power Cap is. I already have one fitted.

I had a similar problem when i put a savox 1256 in my vorza, except it was worse, the MMM only supplies 5.4 volts to the receiver. a power cap in the receiver helped but didn't totally cure it, so i wired a CC BEC to the esc to supply the receiver with a constant 6 volts, now it's sorted.
