I just got a Senton 3S, and I live on the beach, so I want to be able to run it there. First thing I picked up was a dusty motors cover (before running in sand). I have also switched to a DumboRC X6. Battery is a Lectron Pro 3S 5200Mah 50c.
When I run it in sand, my run times are short, and the motor is getting hot. I don't have a thermometer, but I can't leave my finger on it for more than a second. I think it shut down due to heat last time. The ESC was blinking slowly red, like it does at LVC. Is there a way to tell if it's heat or LVC by the lights?
From my research it seems like I need to gear down. I think I am going to order a 15T and 13T so I have both.
I am also considering bigger tires. I don't want to go too big, as I don't want too high of a center of gravity. I like scooting around fast. Any recommendations on inexpensive tires that are bigger, but not too huge? The pro-lines I see people use are a little pricey for me. I don't really want sand paddles, as I run in the lawn and on pavement occasionally.
I'm considering a jconcepts Bajr buggy body down the road as well.
Anything other advise or options I should consider?
Thanks AF!
