Thanks for all of this great info Pauly.
I will check to see where the LVC setting is set but it should be set to Castle’s stock setting because I haven’t changed it. All positive and negative wires on each battery are the same length as well as the wires on the ESC....I’m not sure if that even matters or if it’s supposed to be that way. The 2S pack, the pack in question, is older than the 3S pack so maybe that has something to do with it?
Something I just remembered I noticed, or thought I noticed was a reduction in power towards the end but it was hard to tell. I really wasn’t driving hard at all and it seemed like it still had good power...enough so that I didn’t notice much of a change but maybe that battery hit LVC and I just kept driving to the point it shut off and that is why that pack was so low.
I think I’m just going to try the 3M tape after removing the Castle sticker first and if that doesn’t do the trick then I will add the zip tie.
I also need to shorten the motor wires and flip the power switch 180 degrees. I didn’t want to cut the motor wires if I didn’t have to in case the extra wire were to be needed on a future build but the real estate isn’t there once the body is mounted. The switch was a joke lol. It came out of the box in the on position so it’s 180 degrees out....yeah I laughed but was mad at the same time. Didn’t help it was like 1:00 in the morning either.
