Hey guys.
Just got my buggy up and running again with all new gear and think I have a little issue. After a few mins of running, actually probably about 5, the power seems to drop off quite badly. I've not had a chance to race this combo yet but am worried the power is gonna drop off on me during the run.
Batteries have only ~2800 taken out of them so its not a low batt voltage. I would have thought it was the motor overheating. But, the SXX has a temp sensing function, I thought it must have been this cutting the power but when I check the temp values they were really low, even though I can tell the motor is getting pretty hot. Dodgy speedo? It can't be reading the temp right I don't think. Both the speedo and motor value were the lowest at one flash each.
A little confused tbh. I suppose I'll have to give it a race an see how it goes then...
What'ya think?
