    turnigy 180a v3 esc problem

    When I power it up it sounds great on the beach but once the boat hits the water and the prop bites it goes to running at only half throttle. I bring it in and untape and the led is flashing red. Its brand new and it's done this since I stucknit in the boat.

    Now I did change the timing from default to 0degrees due to the motor im running. Its a leopard 3674 2650kv on 4s in my p-sport whiplash and im running a x442 and I also set it to foward only.

      From what I've been reading and I've also experienced it on my pursuit, your hitting the LVC on the ESC. I had to disable the LVC on mine and just put a timer on my radio to alert me after so many mins. Try and disable it and see if the power is back.

      Low-voltage Cutoff Threshold:
      This function prevents the Lipo battery pack from over-discharging. The ESC detects the battery voltage all the time, if the voltage goes below the threshold for 2 seconds, the output power will be halved and the Red LED flashes slowly.

        Is that maybe the sign of a bad cell in your battery pack? On bench = no load, once under load something is not right.
