yes i would agree. i have a dragonfly 36 with the walkera brushless and esc and a thunder power 2100 mah li-po. i believe it is set at 9.8 i think. i know that the lhs told me not to discharge it below 3.3 volts per cell so that would be 9.9 volts total. sounds like as soon as you that "topped-off" charge your esc grounds you. like i said i'm not familiar with that set-up so i have no idea how to reprogram the esc. i can't even re program my own. no instructions came with the motor and esc and no one here seems to know either. good luck.
