Good morning! So straight to the point: my Granite will run like a scalded dog for about 30 seconds.
Here is the setup:
Castle Knockoff Dilwe 4900kv Motor
ESC120a Drfeify off Amazon
Sococon 3S 7600mah 120c Battery
Slipper Clutch (Relevant later)
So the issue is it runs perfect for about 30 seconds. I mean literally tire shredding amazing. Then it slows WAY DOWN for about 15 seconds like it is in a limp mode...then NOTHING. Wait for about 3 solid minutes and it'll take off like a bat out of Hades again for about 30 seconds and then slow down again...then just sit there looking at me all stupid.
My first thoughts were it was overheating, but Temp on ESC has never exceeded via laser thermometer 157 degrees and motor never over 130.
Second thought was battery was discharging so quickly it was simply depleting and I was hitting low voltage. But that wouldn't explain why it will revert back to previous running conditions, And have the same issue on 2s...(I have ordered 3s 6000mah 60c. And adapter plugs to try this 120a setup on 4s. Awaiting delivery)
So I swapped my previous Spektrem Firma 85a ESC out for this 120a. Same issue if not worse.
So I got noodling the issue and doing some research, and it dawned on me that this whole issue started after I replaced my spur gear for the 3rd time for a higher quality one, as I had busted 2 previous cheap options. I can't imagine this would be the culprit as I've adjusted it every which way possible. If ANYTHING I feel like I can't get this $60 slipper clutch tight enough and it always sounds like it's slipping and has never cogged.
At this point, I need help. I've educated myself as best I can on everything I've thought could be causing this and I'm just at a loss.
I GREATLY APPRECIATE you guys and any input you may have.
Thank You!
