Are you using Receiver Battery(6.6V LiFe) with your 1 cell ESC?
I am now using LRP SXX V2 with 3.7v 6000mAh 60c. I felt the car lost control suddenly after playing for 3 to 4 minutes. I don't whether the supply voltage from ESC to Receiver cannot be maintained or not.
My Lrp esc Stock Spec also had the same problem before, causing lost control.... unstable throttle and steering response. That cost me two servos broken] I think the problem is the bec output is unstable. If you still using that esc, I suggest u play with a receiver batter, otherwise change to other brand like Hobbywing 1S esc, that is very reliable, good luck!
no problem so far with 1s Lipo (3.7v). According to the spec. LRP SXX v2 can provide constant 6V to receiver with input from 3.0v to 7.4v. Make sure you select the correct setting (1,x,x,x) for 3.7v
yokomo ching,
i suggest charge your receiver batt. once after max. of two plays, better once per play, for safety!! your car is much more expensive than your battery !!
If the receiver battery is being using, do u use the 6V supply from ESC? or u use them at the same time. I tried to disconnet the black wire from ESC to Receiver. Only white & red wires were connected from ESC to Receiver. It works but I am not sure whether this arrangement is correct or not.
I used a LiFe 220mah on my pan car with 1S and brush ESC / motor.
With the rx battery fully charged, I can play 3 x 8min run safely. Most of time I charge between 4th and 5th packs. http://ernrc.blogspot.com/2010/03/xray-12link.html
Hope this helps.
If I remember correctly, you should disconnect the RED wire between ESC and Rx (only white and black wires are used). This way, you will disable the BEC function of the ESC since you are using an external battery source to power servo and Rx.
Yup, I did that too for my brush ESC - remove the red wire from ESC to rx when connecting to the rx batt. It works fine so far. But never try this on brushless ESC.
