If your referring to where he drives his rig he said he's been using the same area for 15 years

Thats why I though it is a power issue bad connection or a earth to the chassis or bad on/off switch ?He said it goes into failsafe with and without the killswitch
I had aluminum spacers between the coil for the longest time, didn't make a difference ??Im stumped. If we really look at the whole scope of things the engine hasn't been changed entirely only ignition parts. I know Sean said it doesn't matter about having metal isolators for the coil but since we turned over almost every rock here what are you using to isolate the coil from the head?

I checked and replaced the whole assembly, power button, coil, wire and plug cap from another rig, no luck...Way too damn lazy to read the 4 pages, but I know you disconnected the ks, did you remove the entire lead and off button? If not ,just remove the whole assembly. And see if that's the problem. .that's about all I can think of,
Wonder if a glitch buster would fix your issues ? it is kinda a bandaid fix though.
Yeah, but I already checked grounding issues with a multimeter and everything is fineThats why I though it is a power issue bad connection or a earth to the chassis or bad on/off switch ?
so something changed in the area like 5G or new wifi system or ? it is a variableIf your referring to where he drives his rig he said he's been using the same area for 15 years
No, I run Maxine almost every day in the same, place. If it was interference in the area, it would failsafe the whole time like a fella mentioned beforeso something changed in the area like 5G or new wifi system or ? it is a variable
Have you swapped the trans/rcvr from the Maxine to the other car and tried it ?No, I run my Maxine almost every day in the same, place. If it was interference in the area, it would failsafe the whole time like a fella mentioned before
One is genuine Hpi coil that came with one of the rigs, and the other (current) one, came from a 36cc Rovan engine, both work well in other setups, but the rig yield same issue.Guys remember the radio fail safe is only supposed to activate when it loses signal. doesn't have peepee to do with battery voltage. The kill switch will activate with both (if set up that way, which is default) so not a battery issue.
The coil doesn't give a rats arse of it has metal or plastic spacers.
Again I'll ask what brand of coil did you use? The rovan brand is notorious for giving grief, I can't remember if you said it off your other rig, or you bought a new one. I'm fairly sure you have your bases covered there, but couldn't remember what you've said.
If it's not the servo, then I would personally cap it out. You seem to have covered your bases fairly well. Save physically swapping out the engine. Weirder things have happened though.
Yeah I was kidding, Ill run a lipo connected to the rx, bypassing any extra wiring and power switch to discard both the battery and the switch.Just don't let the lipo go up in smoke, and truthfully youll.most likely just burn out the board.
