Default EvoJet 180 VX Issues

Hi All -

I have a first generation Evojet 180Vx. Starts right up, but when it hits about 50k rpm, it roars but doesn't spool up to any higher RPM. A couple of things I've noticed.

Sometimes (rarely) it gets past the 50k rpm mark and spools up to full power and it's a beast. When I'm lucky enough for that to happen, if I keep the RPM's high, it will spool back up to full throttle with no problem. But then when I go back to idle, it won't get back to full throttle; just roars at about 50k rpm and sticks there.

Also, on the GSU, there is an exclamation point next to the throttle setting. It says "THR 40!" for example.

I have no idea what is going on. I'm using a fully-charged 3s lipo. The engine has about 3 hours of run time on it.

Any thoughts would be really appreciated.

Chris
