Well, you might have killed your ESC. The Onyx system isn't the highest quality, especially for running 3s and those powerful batteries. For a little bit more money you should've went with a Hobbywing system. Would have worked out better for you. Is the Onyx ESC still under warranty by chance?no it doesn't run after I let it cool down and I'm running a 21 tooth pinion
yes it is I think im going to up grade to the hobbywingWell, you might have killed your ESC. The Onyx system isn't the highest quality, especially for running 3s and those powerful batteries.

Well, if it is still under warranty, get a hold of Horizon Hobby for a warranty replacement and ask if you can upgrade to a Hobbywing ESC, preferably the Max10sct, and pay the difference in price. The Max10sct is 2s-4s capable 120amp and will be the best option. If the Max10sct cannot be had then any Hobbywing 80a-150a ESC will do and will be leaps and bounds better than the Onyx ESC.yes it is I think im going to up grade to the hobbywing
