Finally after lots of work on the MX 400 and fine tuning. I got it up and around a circuit . Then my esc (cc35) started to cutout around pitch #2 as I lowered the throttle in a banking turn. My first thought was drawing too many amps?

Seems I had a bit more pitch at curve 3 . Lowered that and will give it another try.

What batteries are you running? I've had cutout problems before when running low C rating batteries.

Nate,
It is the Align 2100 battery brand new in package and charged to 12.6 volts. Mind you a bit chilly just below freezing. Maybe it couldn't deliver the current fast enough?

When I had problems the batteries were probably 8 or 10C. I wouldn't think the Align would have any trouble. At what voltage is your cutoff set on your CC35?

Lowered the pitch for point 2 , and was able to circuit ok. Seems to really drink the battery fast.That could be because I have an inrunner?

Loosened the motor gear mesh a tad and seemed to get a better headspeed all around. Of course now the wind came up, flyin is over for the day.
