I will give one a shot for sure. Thanks for suggesting that. It will be a couple of weeks before I can order one.Not saying to throw in the towel on your motor, but have you considered trying a Hobbystar 1730? They are priced rather cheap with good specs and end bell is already tapped for 3 and 4m.
Never throw in the towl. I have the truck dialed and love it..... super excited to to get electronics sorted which will happen. Replaced everything but the motor.I talk to a group of 1/5 scale people. They swear by the Hobbystar stuff.
Before I had the 1480kv on my Kraton....I hade a 1730kv Leopard or so. Lots of people were having great success. Mine was sizzling quick after a few mins. I swapped in the 1480, had perfect temps and very long run times. I never did figure out what was going on previously. It's high resistance some place is all I can say. That could be tires, gears and weight also causing the high amps. At this point... the motor is looking suspicious. Like Rich said...see if you can find out why but don't throw in the towel. Very frustrating Park. You got gremlins for sure.
It has been interesting because most my experience has been with 1/10 2s cars. A few 4s race buggies and truggies, but these high power rigs are a whole new learning experience! You don't have bad solder and connector issues with lower voltage rigs!
Actually learning a lot.
Value you dudes input!
