BLX185 cutting off

[dadlifex3]

this is the third time in a week it has happened. I’m running my Notorious 6s (on 4s) and the truck just stops. Have steering but no throttle.

I’m not hitting thermal as the motor every time was less than 180°. The esc was about 130° And blinking a slow green. The battery voltage each time was fine.

For instance the voltage of each cell is 3.72 3.72 3.73 3.71

Any ideas?
Ok, found some YT videos. Watching them now.

3.72 is pretty low. That is LVC

Maybe I am having a brain fart. So the esc LVC is set at that voltage? Online it says 3.2V is the LVC.

Manual says that blinking green is overheat. If you are way under that threshold maybe start a warranty claim.

LVC is not adjustable on the BLX185 but I can’t remember what the cutoff is.

I agree and I have contacted them to see what they say. The temp was definitely never over 180°.

LVC is probably 3.4v per cell, but that is taken under load. You’re measuring at rest. The cells could be 3.4v under load and recover to 3.7v by the time you measure.

Good point. HH replied to my email already. Didn’t say anything and just asked for my information and proof of purchase. Maybe they’re replacing it without question

So they’re sending me a new speed control. Didn’t ask any questions but I reckon I’ll take it

Trying out an SLT3 radio with the SLR300 receiver I had laying around. Cannot figure out how to get the steering to not be reversed. Any ideas? The manual didn’t say anything about it.

The steering channel reverse switch is on the back side of the transmitter next to the power button.
