GOOD deal....

Check the setting for your lipo cut off on the esc...if you have one. Sounds like it may be set to 3 cell and that may be the problem

You dont cycle lipos, charge exactly as recomended or you may not like the outcome


My crawler was pretty expensive and the battery is bad im guessing. It has been on the charger for 1 1/2 hours put it in the truck and got 15seconds of power before the goat flashed low batt. :mad:

What speed control did you get?? and what kind of charger?

Post up some info and we can figure this out. :awesomework:
 
Novak goat motor and esc. Venom charger with a 2 and 3 cell plug. 7.4 2000 mah lipo.

Well it looks like you have a fool proof system. The goat should be ready to go beside set to the radio. The battery charger looks like you can't d anything wrong too. I know the Losi has a problem with run time, but still, you should of had more run time than you claimed.

What is your gearing? Did the motor and esc heat up??

Not enough time to know if it heated up. Died fast. Being that it is a lipo im kinda afraid of the charging. I only let it charge for 1 hour then 1 1/2 hours. Brad said i should let it charge until the charger stops. 18.5 motor with a 16tooth pinion.
 
So its been on the charger since 6 this evening and i just put it back on the crawler and again 15 seconds before the esc shut it off.WTF
 
Is this the charger you have??

Are you sure you have it set for Lithium Polymer and NOT Lithium Ion??

That Lipo you have should charge up in about a hour or so maybe a little more. 7.4 2000 battery should be charged at 2 amps max.
