OK so I called CC today and they said to set the PWM at 12 and use low timing. The link below is with these settings. Still did not fix the problem.
When I made the comment in earlier posts about 30 second bench test I was just saying that it was a short test. All testing on the bench has been very short. Pretty much what you see in the video just a few seconds and not building heat. I'm surprised that the ESC has not cooked yet. I will post the data down load from the ESC shortly. As soon as I figure out how to format it so that RC universe will accept it. I have had some short flight time with this plane but all have ended quickly. As soon as this issue happens in the air it is lights out and straight to the ground. Some how I have purchased two of these Max products combos with the same issues. Looks like I will contact CC again on Tuesday. Stay tuned and if you any suggestions I would love to hear from you.
