Hydro problem! need some info..

[electric007]

i put my boat in the water and hit the trigger and then it slowly dies down. if i let go and pull it again it takes off and slowly dies down. i have two motors and 4 batteries. i tryed switchin motors and batteries and it continue to do it. is it my ESC. or are all my batteries bad.. it all so does it in my hand. i have no clue what to replace. i thought the ESC. had some kind of LVC.. whats wrong with this thing..

leopard motor with a hobbywing seaking ESC 180.

LVC could be too high batteries could have a bad cell what are the voltages on each cell of the battery

[electric007]

they balance to 4.20 what their suppose to. LVC is at 3.6. battteries balance or charge less then 15min.
then again they are GENS ACE 11.1v 40c batteries. had about 10 runs on everyone.

I had a similar problem with my hydro with a Leopard 4074 2200kv and a Seaking180. Had LVC at 3.7. Set it at 3.2 and it still did it. Turned the LVC off and it works great now. Just make sure you don't run the batteries down to low.

and if i do so wouldnt that be bad, so your saying the problem is the esc then. i what things to work the right way. whats worng with it!!!!!!!

If you dont want to turn the LVC off then set it to 2.8 or 3.0v but still watch your time. I have several T180's, luv 'em, but if the batts used with them are not real stout it goes to LVC................You can try it in the off positon for a lap or two if it worries you.

alright. hope it works out good 2mar. thanks for the info. guess ill get some good batteries too.

Gens ace are good batteries so I doubt they are the problem!
