Re: Victor Problems

A Victor alternating green and yellow could be a symptom of an intermittent pwm cable, but you'd probably notice that at something besides full power. It sounds like it's being commanded to neutral. I assume this motor is being controlled with a joystick? If so, I suggest you use a dashboard monitor program to verify that the joystick isn't getting flaky at its extreme position. An open circuit is detected by the OI and sent to the RC as if it were a joystick at neutral.
