Mamba issues

[Miller Time]

Yesterday I was having some issues with the Mamba system in the RC18. The last time I ran it there were no problems, and nothing was done to the car since.

After about 6-7 minutes of running, the car would stall. The steering still worked, so it doesn't seem to be a radio issue. Giving throttle would make the engine do something similar to cogging, but really slow. It would pulse a split second of throttle like every second or two, but never enough to get the gears moving more than a twitch. I would unplug it and let it sit for awhile, then it would work again for a few minutes before doing the same thing.

I'm thinking it was overheating - it was blistering hot yesterday, and after the motor started acting up everything was really hot. The motor can, esc, even the wires. I'm running the same gearing as always, and there is a heatsink and fan on the motor can. Any thoughts?

That sounds like overheating for sure. I have the same problem with my E-Revo if I gear too high or try to run 14 cells on a regular basis. It sounds exactly like what you described.
