ESC question that hopefully has a simple answer.

[Nefarious]

Every Losi is NOT a brushed 2WD SCT. Take a look at these: http://www.losi.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=LOS03010T1
http://www.losi.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=LOS03019T1
http://www.losi.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=LOS03020T1 and there is a brushless 22S sitting on my shelf: http://www.losi.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=LOS03013T2

I am seriously starting to think you have never owned any of these vehicles. Yes the current crop of Losi stuff has the Dynamite 130, which a quick internet search will point out but, i have 2 Losi vehicles that are more than a year old, that have the older 60A ESC, not the newer 130A. Take a close look at the specs for this truck: http://www.losi.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=LOS03013T2 That same ESC is used in not only the 22S, but also the original Tenacity, both of which i currently have. In fact, every new brushless vehicle i have ever bought only has a 60A ESC (Losi tenacity, Racers Edge Pro2, Losi 22S), which is why all of my vehicles that i didnt buy new, i just matched the specs (same amp ESC, same KV motor), except for on the two trucks that started this whole thing. What started this whole thing is that i put the same 60A ESC in 2 DHK Hobby Hunters, but, paired them with a 3660 3800KV motor, and on those two trucks, i have an issue where after roughly 5 minutes, i have to turn them off, wait a minute, then turn them back on, so, i wondered if the motor was too big for that ESC, or if it could possibly be something else, but, like always, since i am not willing to buy race spec crap i dont need, all i get are a bunch of arguments here.

It had that ESC for all of 3 days. Now, it has the same WP 10BL60 RTR that every other vehicle i have has.

I must be an exception to this, since, the only electronics i ever burn up are the cheap GoolRC ESC's that come in the combo's (oh, and the Castle that someone convinced me to waste money on a couple years ago). I still have the stock electronics from my Racers Edge Pro2 that i bought in 2012 that still work.

Old post but jsut wanted to add in case it helps, i have a Redcat Blackout Pro 4x4 i run with a smaller 10BL50 RTR and a HPi FLUX 3660 3300KV motor. The thing is a screamer and doesn't overheat. I have fan and heatsink on motor. Idk, a 3800kv is faster but a 10bl60 is more powerful, but not by much. I was thinking though, maybe you may be riding on the line of what the ESC can handle RPM wise?
I found that out after pulling hair out! Had a lower KV motor in a 2wd Rustler with a small pinion, this made the motor spin VERY fadt, right up to near its max RPM, but it was apparently over what the Max10 60a esc could handle. So the ESC did exactly what your describing, it would shut down after a few to 5 min of driving then it would work after a bit. It wasn't particularly hot or anything, just stuborn. Swapped motors to something that matched ESC and truck better and problem went away with the motor.

There’s only so much a person can try to help with we don’t know what s lipo you're running but I’ll look into the bl120 or something of that nature it’s not as expensive

Ever since the price became reasonable, I have been buying the newer WP 10BL120 combos. $80-$100 for a decent waterproof ESC and motor is what I consider a good deal, so, I bought several different ones over the last few months to have as I work on rebuilding my collection. Currently, I have that ESC and the 3660 3700KV motor in both my Arrma Senton and my AE Pro4, and I'm playing around with the 3250 and 4000KV 3650's in my 2WD stuff, at least, when I'm feeling good enough to go out and mess with them.
