SkyRC Toro 120A incorrectly going to voltage cut off
Hi,
I bought a SkyRC Toro 120A a few weeks back and am hitting an occasional problem with it. I'm running it with a 2S LiPo and 7.5T motor. On a few occasions, on a freshly charged battery, the car will stop after just a couple of corners - no power to the motor. The ESC emits a "beep beep" and the power light flashes red. My receiver still has power and the steering works. If I turn it off and back on again, the problem is cured and I can run my race without the problem recurring. It looks to me like it's gone into voltage cut off. I'm wondering if with a freshly charged pack in it, at peak voltage, it's incorrectly identifying it as a 3S lipo. Then as I move off, and the voltage drops a bit, it's thinking the battery is flat so it goes into voltage cut off. Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a fix? Thanks in advance for your help! |

Hi,
Do you have the setting box for the speedo? If you do see what the voltage cut off is set to. With the box / software you can manually set the voltage cut off. MiCk B. :-)

Thanks Mick B. I use the WiFi link and iOS app. At the moment the voltage cut off is set to "Auto" so the ESC should figure out what is the appropriate voltage for the pack. I guess I can try setting this manually, say to 6.4V for my 2S pack and see how that goes.

Good stuff.
Always the issue with auto settings, don't know what they are. MiCk B. :-)

Standard setting is 3.2v/cell. I always switch to 3.0v or off and make sure I don't run it flat
