truck lost most of its power mid run

[majin]

i fixed the cen f450 today and took it out for a rip, it was eating! driving really fast then suddenly it stopped.
no warning no nothing.
turn it off and back on it drives but not even 1/4 my speed and power from a second ago
i bring it in, battery is at 93% motor is cool, reciever has been waterproofed, Castle Creations Copperhead 10 & 1406-2850kV Sensored motor are waterproof.
i dont think its water related, but then again i have no clue why i just lost all power then most of the remaining power
it happened during this video

Hmm. Strange one. You always have the best meltdowns. Start with a rebind and recalibration. See what happens.

Check your slipper. Both tightness and clean pads. It might be a spin hub or broken driveshaft.

I thought he got rid of the slipper?

I'm not sure if surgery was a success yet.

 

[majin]

slipper is still on, i know its clean, could have came loose possibly yes, ill have to try that transmission teardown here i come lol

ill hve to make a LOT more than i originally thought, the center diff will be in a different location so none of the links will work, ill have to i guess make custom length links, so while I'm at it i will be looking for a center diff of similar strength, but that possibly has 5 mm outputs,

calibrated the esc to the transmitter per troubleshooting, so its not that, tightened the slipper not that either, no difference. tried a different pack same thing.
the esc has 4 red flashes but i can't find what that means

I think that means you should have bought a Hobbywing

If ESC shuts down when Datalog is full... that's just weird and dumb. But, just to rule out things, I guess it's best to reset it.

That's what I was thinking. But he said it has 4 flashing lights, and that's what it shows for that error code.

But it might be best to pull the data first and see what it says

I have $5 on sensor wire came unplugged.

I have $5 on sensor wire came unplugged.

I drive mine with and without the sensor wire. It works totally fine.

When my data log was full it just kept beeping.

@majin if I'm not mistaken they had a few of these copper 10s brick in the beginning faze.

Oh dang! I will shut up then!

All good. I think some brands will not work without one. But my 2 copperhead has a whine tgat spools ups like a turbo.

Will do tonight after work
Will I need the castle link cable hooked up for this? This will be my first forray into data logging stuff

 

[majin]

I'll check that first
After reading some stuff I thought it could be that but I don't think it's gonna be that easy

 

[majin]

looking into clearing data for next attempt
