Status: offline 		i have had a few rigs with the vxl3s esc before but just got a wraith with the vxl system installed on trade. i have since installed it in a 4x4 slash and when i run my 6400mah 3s lipo in it after a charge the light goes from green to slowly blinking red which is telling me my lipo is low. i just charged it and according to my charger the lipo has 11v in it. i have balanced it every charge and run it in several rc's, so my question is did i get a bad esc on my trade or is there something i haven't done for programming? i have it set up for sport mode as always...any help on this would be helpful thanx...

Status: offline 		The LVC May be set very, very high as a mistake. Look how to turn off the cutoff on google and then see what happens.

Status: offline 		Ive had that happen on multiple VXL units. The LVD on the esc stops working right. It will keep coming kicking in when it shouldnt.

double check the battery 1st. if your battery has a bad connection, you may read 3 cells via the ballance port, but only have 2 cells sending power to the esc plug.

but if your battery is good, the ESC is faulty. there is no "setting" the LVD level on the vxl unit. its preset.

You can turn it off (nimh mode) but that can risk damage to your lipo if you over drain it.

send it to traxxas. everytime I had that happen they replaced the unit for me.

It is weird that the LVD can go bad, and the rest of the unit still function properly
