I have never had that problem with mine. What battery are you using? It isn't the low voltage cutoff kicking in is it? Douible check all the conectors to make sure a wire isn't coming loose. I've had that happen on my TC3. Only issue I've had with mine is the shocks leaking almost right away but rebuilt them and perfect since.
I've had this happen with mine. It prob. is the lipo cutoff. I had to dig up the manual to make sure the ESC was set correctly. Took a few times to actually get it to stick. I'm not using Lipos..

Also, I've noticed the Radon motor gets pretty hot and needs to be cleaned. It doesn't 'go' when the truck stops and the battery is almost done. I've used a Parma Commutator Cleaning Stick left over from my touring car days. It did the job pretty good, made of fiberglass so it doesn't wreck the motor comm.

I found that too about the motor in mine before I went brushless. I cleaned the comp and get some good motor cleaner to spray it down too. With over 25 years of racing, I never went anywhere without the spray. That was my first guess on the problem was your LVC settings or your batteries were too low.
