Hi guys,
Got my son a Granite Voltage in January. Ran it on the stock battery and it was fine. Then we used one of the 2s batteries I use for my Typhon. We moved the jumper over. It was fine the first time we used it. Second time is where we ran into issues. It would run for a minute or two then then the motor would become unresponsive. Lights would flash on the ESC. Disconnect battery and reconnect then it would run fine. Once it sat around for a minute or two same scenario. Switched to a different brand battery and it ran fine. Then the next session it happened again and then again. And then again and again. At first I thought I had a bum battery. Went far enough to blast battery in a review on Amazon. Now I am not so sure that was the right thing to have done.
That battery that I blasted on Amazon worked fine in my Typhon the first time this happened. Which meant it had plenty of voltage left in it. I checked the cells with a multimeter and they were very close in voltage. The next time it happened it would not power my Typhon when I put the battery in.
Motor overheats when sitting? I tore it up today ballooning the tires as I hopped curbs and tore up some grass. As long as I was using it it ran fine. Did not matter how hard I pushed it, it never faulted. Once I stopped to do something the motor would become unresponsive again. The jumper is always in the lipo position.
I called Arrma/Hobby a few weeks ago and the rep had no idea what was wrong. Said he would ask a coworker who had a Voltage if he recognized the problem. Forgot to send over the receipt. Next time I heard from him was to close the case. I sent the receipt so let's see what happens with them.
But I would appreciate it if anyone has run into this problem who found a solution could share.
