Arrma ESC keeps rebooting
Ive searched quite a bit but havent found any same issue posts. I have a newer style ARRMA Talion 6s. I have about a dozen batteries thru it. When I power it up, I drive it about 3 seconds and it stalls and then reboots the ESC. I never really lose steering when this happens. Most other posts Ive read lose steering when this happens. So, I replaced the steering servo in hopes that was the problem. I got it all back together and it does the same thing. Drive for 2 or 3 seconds and then it kills but I can still steer. Reboots over and over again.
I hate to drop another $250 on new esc/motor combo when this is this new.
If thats what it takes, Ill do it.
1 more thing I thought is... Could it be the radio/receiver instead? When I 1st reassembled everything after I replaced the servo, I bench tested it and it never rebooted. I this time, I was right next to it with the radio. Could it be, its losing signal when it gets 10" from me and powering down?
PLEASE HELP

I'm guessing you don't have a known good ESC to swap in. It's not a good sign if the ESC keeps 'rebooting' like you say. I would try and warranty the ESC.

You were thinking about a possible loss of signal. Normally, a receiver's LED will blink; LED turns red/other color, or it will do something to let you know that the signal has been lost.
