Hey folks, just upgraded to ONYX 4000kv Motor and 70 amp ESC combo (ONXS0501) with a Spektrum STX 3 radio (SPMTX300) and receiver. I'm running a 7.4V NIMH battery, at 3300 mah. my first run with it this morning, the motor would cut out intermittently, but would return when I turned off the ESC and turned it back on. During this time, I did not lose steering. The instructions stated that the receiver requires 3.5V and if the receiver falls below 3.5 it could cut out. The other piece is the ESC states that the default low cut off voltage is 3.0 V per cell. I can adjust the low voltage cutoff, but is the simple solution here that my NIHM at 7.4 V is just not powerful enough, and I need a Lipo battery? Its a pretty big powerplant, so maybe the NIMH just isn't enough?
