Hi all, i need help, i have a kyosho pyscho kruiser and the power is much less than normal going to the motor or none at all. I will be driving it normally working just fine and the power will drop or even cut out. It is not the lipo cut off because after the power completely cuts out to the motor, it will fix itself after 10 seconds or so without flipping the power switch. I dont know what is wrong and whenever it happens seems to be random. My batteries are adequately sized for my car as the have worked fine in the past without issue. Please help thanks
 
how do you know lipo are adequate for the job.lipo can just go 1 day fine next day they fluxuate...id test with another lipo...or put a power meter inline with lipo measure whats going on. I use a watts up 200 amp unit
 
The thing is that if it was a power issue i would need to turn my car off and on again in order to reset the lipo cut off. There must be some other electrical glitch
 
What is the voltage of the LiPo pack? If it's below 3.4 volts per cell, it is the low voltage cutoff doing its job. If the voltage is higher, then it's probably a bad ESC.
