As I understand things, the “absolute” maximum current setting is the battery max amps, which I have set at 60 amps. As you both pointed out my battery should be capable of closer to 100 amps continuous, so the 60 amps battery max is pretty conservative.
As for the motor max current, I’m not as sure about that. The way I understand things, if/when the motors are drawing max amps, they actually are not drawing that value due to the way they work. Thus having the max motor amps set to a combined total that’s higher than max battery amps is pretty common. I wish I had a good thread to link in here, but I don’t. I think this is due to polling frequency, but like I said, I’m not positive. Maybe someone who understands this better than I can weigh in here.
I have had this happen to my three times with three different reason. First a fuse blew. Then current spikes made the focboxes short down. And now recentlythe remote cut off.
In your situation it might be the current spikes as @Jamie42 points out.
Take a look at this thread where The good Jeramiah (Chaka) helps find the issue.
To know this is the issue for you, you need the data from the unity.
The trouble with right now is that there have been so many reported issues with this esc and that esc that we forget the basics.
Your settings are conservative. That means when troubleshooting the electronics side of the problem (esc wise) are the most unlikely.
That said the sensors on motors are arseholes waiting to plant your face so before you do anything else, unplug them and run sensorless. That will tell you if a faulty temp sensor is your problem.
Check the physical first. I had the same thing happen to me and it turned out to be a bad phase. Not saying this is your issue but get inside that enclosure and make sure everything is fully secure before worrying about further down the line. Trouble shooting is going back to the start of the build and working your way back up till you have eliminated all the basics.
One small mistake can change a beautiful thing into something you are terrified of.
Check the position of your receiver.
Check all your cabling
Check all the stuff you lovingly hand crafted.
First check whether you have got a fully charged remote.
Go back to the beginning and you will find it and you will be the better builder for it.
Today I learned that you can see faults in the “terminal” screen in the Unity Android app. If you flip over to the terminal screen and type in faults it will show any faults that have occurred in the current session.
If you’re curious what else you can do there just type help and you’ll get a list of commands.
I turned off the thermal throttling and I had a good ride today, no unexpected losses of acceleration and no faults.
, are you sure your not using the numbers for 21700A’s
