need serious help!

[gagetrumbly]

i have a losi mini dt and i have and xcelorin 1/18 8200kv brushless esc and motor. i just got a lipo and i dont know what the car does when the lipo cutoff is activated.
help please!

[Briguy]

The car will get slow and eventually stop when the cut-off in engaged .

[gagetrumbly]

now i have other problem the esc it is cutting in and out and i have reprogramed it 2 times.
need help please!

[Briguy]

It is probably doing this because of the motor .

[gagetrumbly]

it isnt even a month old! what can i do to fix it. cause this is upsetting me that it was working good then it justs takes a shi*.

[Briguy]

Your gonna need a new motor . The only reason for the wire to break off is from overheating the motor and the coating on the armature burnt/melted off .

[gagetrumbly]

i havent over heated it though.and what would the armature do if it was?

[gagetrumbly]

when i get on the gas hard it starts to cut in and out but when i pick it up off the ground it doesnt. if it is the motor do u think xcelorin might send me a new one?

if losi hasnt fixed it for you yet....
my first guess would be that you have a sh!t battery. the esc will cut in and out and you could possibly even get the blinking red led on the esc. either- turn down the "initial acceleration" or get a lipo that will deliver at least 35 amps. your peak is 35 amps and your esc should limit it's own intake. so THEORETICALLY, you should be able to hook up a battery that can deliver one million amps and your esc will take only 25 with couple second bursts of 35. hope this helps.

I am only speaking of what i have heard and my own experience. i am running the Xcelorin 3.5t sensored combo (100amp continuous, 540 peak) with a Max Amps 9000mah 540 surge amps battery and have been fine. just make sure you are geared properly and have fun.

i got it fixed and now the steering servo took a crap and im not playing rough with it so i emailed losi and they said that it isnt covered under warranty so im done with losi. going back to traxxas.

[Briguy]

Sorry to hear that . Servos are not normally covered under warranty unless there is a well know issue . Otherwise anyone that smacks their car/truck into a wall or tree will be wanting a replacement for free .
