Hmm, Ansmann Xirius power loss
This is my first brushless system that I have used and I've installed into my Ansmann Macnum and I've already run into problems. At the moment I'm running a 19t pinion and a no-brand 5000mAh Ni-Mh battery, if I accelerate with full throttle it will cut out but if I feather the throttle to full throttle it will run OK. These are the specs of the kit:

Have you got the voltage cut off turned on?

that may be the problem alot of non branded batteries dont have a high discharge rate so the esc struggles to get the power hence cutting out,
when it does cut out does it do it for a few seconds or can you put the throttle straight back on again? normally a voltage cut off lasts a few seconds

You can try softening the ESC settings, or running smaller pinions, but it won't solve the fundamental problem. |

I'm charging the battery back up tonight, I'll check the set-up with the card, problem is there is no explanation with the programming card of what does what. I'm also going to speak to Shaun from Ansmann tomorrow, see if he can shed some light on it.

Cracked it, it's the battery, I stuck it back on a charge and POP it flies. I think I'm right in assuming the speed I'm seeing now will be on par with a lipo? I'm reluctant to jump in with both feet into lipo as this (for now) won't be raced, any idea how long a run I can expect from this NiMh? I'm hoping for reasonably good times as the motor is more efficient.
