Yes that and also the voltage readings I was getting when it wasn’t under load of 3.7v per cell. The LVC is set to 3.4v so there’s potentially a 0.3v ‘rebound’

Ah ok gotcha. Spot the newbie! The scenario you describe seems to tally with what I’m observing; that is that these symptoms get more frequent the longer I try to drive the truck after it happens the first time. Unfortunately I don’t have a monitor to check the IR, but I’m going to assume...

That makes a lot of sense; a very insightful comment, thanks very much! I’ll check the programmable options on the ESC. Thanks so much again for the informative reply!

So I continued to run the truck from a balanced charge, and it started to randomly disable the throttle (although I steering was still active), but after a couple of seconds it'd run at around 50% throttle again. I could see a flashing red light on the ESC whilst this was happening. When I...

I get your drift, but when I’m charging it, it automatically detects the number it cells, and gives me a percentage measure of each cell’s charge.

Yeah I managed to balance charge it to 100% no problem. Although, weirdly I just took it out to an open space where I could floor it for the first time, and I had issue retaining maximum throttle after a period of a few seconds; speed would either drop to around 50% or there’d be no throttle at...

Thanks so much for your reply. I’ve just this minute invested in a battery checker (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RNPHJN6/) so will check the health of it. I’ve triple checked the LVC in the ESC manual to make sure I made the right selection. Very strange!

Hi there, I’m new to RC’ing so please bear with me. I’ve bought an HPI Maverick Quantum Flux with an HPI Plazma 11.1v battery and an HPI reactor 600 to charge it. The first time I charged the battery it was from factory, and it was charged from around 50% using the balance cable too. I then...
