Go back and check out your LVC settings. When I hit the LVC on mine then try and punch the throttle it seems like it glitches and the fan comes on. Could be you still have the LVC set for 6s if you are not running auto lipo and it is cutting out.

As far as problems with the flux, most I have seen are user error. Like people adding 4 punds of tire and wheel to their truck then trying to reach 70 mph off road.

The HPI gearing charts are not recommended gearing charts, just info to show what the gearing will do. If you want to reach the 62mph speeds with 6s you have to change to the phatlines and use the 25t pinion. If you plan to keep the stock tires I doubt the will be controllable over much more than 50mph. A 15-16t pinion will produce the same speed on 6s as the 20t pinion does on 4s. I think a 17t pinion would be about right for 6s and the stock tires.

I will add that i am kinda sick of the whole 4s - 6s crap. Just pick a voltage and stick with it. So many people who have little to no brushless experience are buying these vehicles and want to run both voltages with no gearing change. Just not a good idea, but it is hard to talk sense to some people...

texas, you might be right I'll check that out. Lincpimp.... I do have phaltlines mounted. I know the HPI chart seems wacky but I'll always try their ideas first. Like any model, you try factory settings first, and I was waiting for more people to blow up their ESCs which is why I didnt run the truck more then a few times after owning it since 1 week after launch. I have others to play with that are more tested to me (1/10 scale primarily).

Thanks for the input so far I'll go check now to see if I overlooked the CL settings. If I did, then I am a dick lol.
