Default RE: Brushless Spd Cntrl or Motor Problem Troubleshooting Help

Well it sounds to me like the LVC (low voltage cutoff) is cutting in. Essentially the battery voltage is sagging under load and when it's low enough the LVC stops it. While not running, the voltage recovers and when you try throttle again it runs for a brief time and the LVC cuts it again... etc., etc.

That could be caused by one of several things:

The ESC LVC may not be set for the correct voltage for your pack type - if it is progammable.

Your battery may not be fully charged or it may not have enough capacity for your motor.

I guess more details like motor, Esc, battery type and no. of cells would help with debugging.
