by "cuts out" do you mean the esc shuts off like when the voltage is to low? or do you mean it just stops producing power?
sounds like it may be overheating the esc and putting it into a protect mode.
I have none of the above listed but i do have an almost brand new set of mounted 40 series trenchers.

ill let em go for a fair price if interested
Another suggestion would be when you do buy your motor and esc buy them from an authorized dealer. My esc burnt up within 10 minutes of my first run, and because they were an authorized hpi dealer they sent me a new one no questions asked.
Thats the last thing I wanted was to pay another 200...
well i swapped the tires to some softer ones to help the impact and it worked. took it out today for about 2 hours and only thing i snapped was a shock.
started off as an XL so i'm using the XL axles.
the diffs are the flux diffs, I do believe the xl also uses the same ones.
Only thing i can think of is my tires are to big and heavy.
I'm gonna order some badlands with 1/2" offset wheels and see if that helps any.
running the trenchers with...
I keep snapping axles, and my rear differential. I went through 2 axles and 2 rear differentials today. seems like everytime my truck lands a little sideways the axle snaps and causes binding in my diff.
Looks like the dog bone is slamming into the diff cup and pushing it upwards and putting it...
try hooking the esc up to a castle link..if it still shows nothing, thats a guarantee its bad. It really seems common for these esc's to fail. Ive seen countless videos online of random failures. I was just happy mine didnt catch on fire when it failed.
seems like the flux is to powerful and not very durable. everytime i take it out something breaks even if I'm not being hard on it.
its kind of depressing haha
and to answer your other question no it couldnt be your reciever because your esc powers the reciever. you should only have your esc and steering servo hooked up to your reciever.
