[Frazzo420]

I have a pursuit with leopard 2000kv 4074 and a seaking 180a esc. I use 2p4s 5000mah batts in "parallel". obviously........ if i run it at wot for about 1.5-2 min it dies. the batteries and esc use ec5 conns and my motor uses CC6.5mm bullets.

The proplem is the battery ec5 plastic is melting and the motor terminals are de soldering..... i think the motor connectors issue is mabe *!***!***!***!**ty solder i am using 60/40 BernzOmatic silver bearing lead free solder... is this good enough????

Do you have any pics of the inside? How long are your battery wires? Have you tried 6mm connectors on the batteries?

60/40 is pretty much the norm for solder...don't take this personally, but how are your soldering skills?
