HI All,
I recently got the V3 Mega because I couldn't wait a week or so for the 3blx to get in stock...
Wish I had just got the 3s from the start but hopefully you all could help?
I had an old Traxxas veliniion VXL-3s esc and motor that I stuck in it... It worked fine for a bit and was quite a bit of fun!! I thought I was brilliant!
And then the ESC died (was from 2008 so it could just be too old). replaced with Sidewinder 3 esc. Finally destroyed the spur and now it doesn't seem right. I use a 2s lipo. Upgraded the spur with ARA311034 HD 57T slipper set and got a 15tooth pinion for the velineon motor
I don't know what exactly is going on, but it seems to "stall", like maybe the motor doesn't have enough power/torque. It seems to have trouble with getting moving. It cogs and sputters and then it will stop. especially on a small incline. I've screwed around with the slipper setting and the gear mesh and I don't think that is the problem. Is it my motor? Is my gearing the problem?
Thanks
ken
