I have a sv3 with a 5700kv motor and a futaba 3prka radio system. Before my futaba i used the traxxas 27mhz system. I have always used 2s lipos. A while back i started having problems, when i stop the truck for as long as about 10 seconds i lose all throttle response. not even a chirp if i turn off the tx. please help me get this problem fixed asap..

Did the problem happen when you were using the 27mhz? If not, then it's probably the radio system messing up, try switching back to the 27mhz and see what happens.

I forgot to mention that it also did it with the 27mhz system. I think i figured out that it is just geared too high. I found someone on another forum who had the same problem.

so it was thermal-ing out? Get your self a cheap IR thermometer ($16), its so helpful for keeping track of your electronics health and gear setups. If you over heat it repeatedly it will drastically lower the life span of the motor and esc.
