Took the T2E out for a spin today. All seems good - however - randomly, MMX is doing 2 short beeps and not delivering full throttle.
Wiring and drive train are all good, battery is freshly charged, although it's the first run in 2 months.
I've re-calibrated the ESC, but still getting random 2 beeps.
Other times, I'm literally pulling wheelies. I'll have a good look tomorrow, but I can't find any mechanical reason behind this glitch. It's Castle related though. I might try the Onyx battery and see if it still happens.
Interesting. The MMX in my Shogun will give me the beep beep beeep sequence. According to your chart, it seems there's an issue with the throttle cable? I guess I'll clean that out and see if helps any.
Regarding the LVC, some speed run folks toe the line and remove the LVC completely. Not that I'd recommend it, but I have read about it. Small wonder that there's more instances of fires.
Me I like to treat my batteries gentle for the most part. LVC is usually set between 3.5 and 3.8 volts per cell. I have a pair of 3yr old NHX 3S packs that are showing 2.1ohms resistance for each cell, so I think I'm doing something right.
Sadly, I think I'll be phasing them out in favor of 5000mAh LCoG packs. My EB48.3 shows a marked difference in handling when I run those.
And interestingly enough, my Gen 2 XR8 Pro doesn't seem to be as finicky as the MMX. I'll give credit where it's due; the Castle escs definitely seem to have more punch, but I've had less trouble/protests with my HW ones.
