Has anyone else had this issue with the MMX8S? Went to do a few passes tonight. Did about 3-4 passes on 5s as a shake down. Pulled the car checked motor temps, roughly 130is over the entire outside of can. Let it cool off for about 10 minutes before I threw in the 6s pack. Did 2 solid passes on 6s and pulled to check temps with the temp gun. Can was around 120, could easily keep my hands on it. Let it sit for a few minutes. Can temp on outside dropped all the way below 100 degrees. Put the car down and set up the camera to record the next pass. Slowly start creeping down the road and I get the dreaded - - *. So I walk down and grab the car like wtf. Put my hand on the can and its nearly ambient temp (70*f). I let it sit for a few minutes, power cycled it and did another pass and it did it again. This is a brand new sensor cable, I'm wondering if it has anything to do with how the cable is routed(Under the motor comfortably). Im going to unplug, clean and plug the sensor cable back in and give it another shot . I also have some logs.
This is not the first instance of this happening so before the runs I did tonight I pulled the can apart and made sure everything looked good and all was well. I think what throws me off the most is the motor was cool as a cucumber and it decided to thermal.
How many of you speed run with the sensor cable plugged in? Or do you just run and monitor external temps of the motor?
Typhon 6s
1520 1650kv
30p/40s
Temp cutoff set to 160
Sensor cable nearly brand new
Esc and motor have maybe 2 weeks of use on them if not less
Here you can see where motor temp just decides to do its own thing after a few quick passes.
