I am running into issues with my Vekta and the 50cc.I will gas it and it will just shut off and roll to a stop.The car will always start and run no problem but it will continue to shut off when I gas it.I don't think it is the Killer Bee because it goes totally dead no leds or beeping from the Killer Bee.I have a SkyRc on/off switch with the low voltage setting but I have no idea how to turn that off or if that is even the problem.I have a dual Hitec setup that definitely draws a bit of juice.The car is working great and I know it isn't a connection or at least I don't think it is because it has no issues after shutdown.I welcome any ideas.
 
Definitely a connection issue! Are you running your servos powered to the switch or threw the receiver, may be one of a servo is starting to pull to many amps, or just the on off switch is dying, but for sure check all connections to receiver for corrosion or loose, even cuts.
 
I have the Dark Soul wiring harness for the servos.I I just rewired everything last week and everything was great new connections and everything was really tight.I am the type to triple check everything so I will rewire everything this week for next weekend so that I can have more than 15 minutes of fun.I just wanted to check since I hate running down these types of issues where you can't be certain you solved the issue and I don't want this 50 pound beast coasting into anything or anyone.
 
Once again you guys were right it was the switch I bounced the truck a few times and it would turn off so I went through the wiring and everything looked fine so I started tapping on the switch and it started to flicker so I replaced the switch and voila everything worked.I wont be able to take her out this weekend or next since I will be in Fishkill doing some training but as soon as I get back its on.
