MINI E REVO 4S LIPO HOW TO
MINI E REVO 4S LIPO INSTALL

To have all four batteries to be unbalaced causing such short run time should be almost impossible, and you would see sign of damaging like bloating of the cells, high temps, ect. It would have to be so unbalanced to affect half the amount of runtime, which would lead to damaging(overcharging and overdischarging) and you wouldn't get 2050mah of discharge on the charger. You have to imagine, each cell is 3.7V 2200mah lipo, so your run time shouldn't be too affected by being unbalaced, it would mainly affect power. I still don't feel like its the batteries be unbalanced, all my batteries came balanced when i ordered from Hobbyking. I forgot to say the reason i discharged my lipo on my charger was because i had an ice charger, so i have a lot of features and what not.

I guess if I really wanted to see if it was the esc I could turn off the lipo cutoff mode and install an external cutoff and see if the same thing happens.ĭunno how that would work on the VXL I know traxxas's blue XL-5 it won't work at all(and says so too).Ī cheap $4 (on ebay) low voltage alarm that plugs into the balance ports IMO is a better option I just ordered the thunder ac6 balance charger so I can start balancing my cells again (and no more running out to my truck for charging batteries!!!) I know this isn't giving me each cell voltage but at least it lets me know the battery can be charged and discharged. and the pack that ran the car for 7 minutes then hit cutoff took only 700ma. I discharged 2050ma out of one battery on the charger and put roughly that back in. See Exploded View Drawings and Repair and Service for assistance.I didnt think there was a high chance of not getting enough power either, it was just another idea.

Transmission damage Open the transmission and inspect for damaged gears.

Pinion gear loose Tighten the set screw on the motor pinion and verify that it is not loose.

Also make sure the slipper clutch is not loose and slipping excessively.

Loose or damaged spur gear A loose or stripped spur gear will prevent the truck from moving when the motor revs up.

*This step does NOT apply to brushless motors. If the motor turns quickly, the issue lies with the ESC or radio system. Replace the motor if it turns slowly or not at all. Check the motor (brushed) by removing it and connecting directly to a battery.

Motor Worn Electric motors require periodic replacement.

Missing axle drive pins? Install drive pins in the axle and tighten the wheel nuts.

Receiver failure Test, replace, or Return the receiver to Traxxas for service.

Speed control receiver lead is unplugged or loose Check the connector that plugs into channel #2 on the receiver to make sure that it's tight.

ESC requires programming You may need to reprogram the ESC for proper operation.

This support video will show you how to diagnose and clear this error. If you accidentally run a NiMH battery with the low-voltage feature active, your vehicle will likely only run briefly before the ESC status light blinks red. If you are using LiPo batteries, the status like should be green, indicating that low-voltage protection is active. When using NiMH batteries, the status light on your ESC should be solid red. ESC Error? Traxxas electronic speed controls feature thermal protection and low voltage cut-off to protect LiPo batteries, which can become damaged if their voltage drops too low.Battery pack is completely discharged The battery must be charged for the vehicle to operate.Try another battery if you are unsure of your battery's status. Battery pack is not properly connected or is damaged Make sure the battery pack is plugged in correctly and that the pins inside of the connector (plug) are not bent or damaged.Turn on the vehicle after a fully charged battery has been installed. Transmitter not switched on The radio must be turned on first before connecting the battery pack.
