Hi all,
I'm having a problem with one of my RC cars ... it's not Arrma, but I hope I'm allowed to post it here anyways, as I'm highly frustrated
I have an RC with an ESC, which provides a BEC of max. 1,5A...
To be able to drive a Savox 1258TG, I also ordered a Castle 10A BEC.
Soldered it to the LiPo connector on ESC side, removed red cable from ESC plug, all just like it is supposed to be installed.
It does work, no brownouts or anything...but I'm having problems with a standing start.
It kind of feels like cogging, but it's not cogging ... imagine you go full throttle in a standing start, the car twitches for 0,5 seconds, then does nothing for 0,5 seconds and then goes full throttle.
As said, like cogging ... it feels like the RC loses signal for a very short time ...
This happens randomly ... sometimes 10 times in a row, sometimes 1 out of 10 times, sometimes 1 out of 20 times.
It does not seem to happen when the RC is moving ... only from a standing start.
Already tried several sender/receiver combos.
Tried BEC port on receiver, tried channel 3, tried channel 4.
Recalibrated sender with ESC
Different BEC voltages (5,1V and 6V)
This does not happen when I drive without the external BEC ... the internal BEC can't handle the servo, but I can go full throttle without any problem.
The ESC does not reset/restart when this happens
Can anyone help?
