Yeah I’ve tried my best to find any type of arch or loose connection. So far I can’t find it . I pulled the motor and cleaned inside. Plugged it back to the ESC and without a being in the truck it runs. I put it back in it’ll run perfect for a little while then pop back off. I’ve never had one do this.
I’ll give that a shot when I get home. It doesn’t go into low voltage shut down maybe the power is completely going out but it comes right back with the push of the button. I did run to thermal cut off once. I BEM then it cooled down and came back to normal?
Thermal shutdown doesn't completely shut everything down, I have hit thermal shutdown many times with one of my Torox esc's. The fans still run, as does the steering. Complete shutdown is something else. Make sure you check the power switch thoroughly, they can give much grief when they start fouling up.. good luck.

Can I just cut the switch out and tie the wires together like an Arrma switch? I’m looking over all connections now but it just shuts off during throttle and not all the time.
Man I really hate to give up on this ESC. It’s perfect for the Talion. Instant balls to the wall power and light weight too. I like the way it was running better than a Max8 or Max6. It’s hard to pin this down cause it doesn’t do it with every throttle pull. It won’t run over a minute or so.
I suppose you could bypass the switch, you will lose the ability to program obviously, but for process of elimination I suppose you can try it. They are "servicable" no? Meaning there are screws that can be removed to open up the switch. IDK about what all solder connections are going on inside of it, but I'm sure someone skilled at PCB or similar soldering could desolder and resolder the connections inside it. That's beyond my abilities though TBH. I'd be more likely to cut the wires outside the switch, then rejoin if/when necessary once I eliminated the problem.
That’s pretty good advice now that you mention it. No telling how many times I’ve done more damage than good by doing the wrong thing. Thanks for everyone’s help.I suppose you could bypass the switch, you will lose the ability to program obviously, but for process of elimination I suppose you can try it. They are "servicable" no?

It's possible you have some capacitors going/gone? I really don't know that much about these to say. However, a HW G2 Quicrun 150a esc can be had new for under $100 in a worst case scenario. Just saying.. or,
Maybe wait for some more responses from others before "cutting" too deeply into things. Pun intended.
I have been quite satisfied with the 2 Torox 185's I have. I don't have a Max8 to compare it to though.. my brother has at least 2 of each, but I don't think he knows the difference TBH. Besides color anyway, LOL.
It acts to me like the switch is shutting off. I just ain’t sure if I can bypass the switch. Castle switches are so bad a lot of guys I know just tie the two wires together when they buy it. I’m not sure if the same thing can be done to the Torox( Hobbywing) switchesThermal shutdown doesn't completely shut everything down, I have hit thermal shutdown many times with one of my Torox esc's.

I’ll give that a try. I do have a couple new servos. I have it out of the truck and working on the bench and it runs fine so far. Friggin wierd!
