Max 6 acting weird

[TaxpayerTroy]

Yo,
Today I finally had my max 6 act funny. It got hot and would cogg and not move. I let it cool down and ran it again and now it gets super hot after a few mins of running. Could this be damage to esc??

Clogging only happens to motors. If you heated up the motor too hot, you could have demagnetized it, now it takes more power to do the same work, that = heat. If the esc works, she works.

You check motor bearing!?

Motor ice cold tho

Yes senton haha I promise. Motor runs cold

Did you solder anything?

 

[TaxpayerTroy]

Did you solder anything?

No sir

Did you solder anything?

I take that back I soldered battery connectors onto esc

 

[TaxpayerTroy]

Did you solder anything?

Another question! Does thermal shutdown preserve the esc and should it run fine after?

 

[gotnitro]

yeah but if you thermaled it your motor should have been pretty warm.

Have you checked the soldered terminal you did for a cold joint?

Is the HW ESC fan working and working well...any blades missing off the fan

See that’s the thing. The fan hasn’t been as effective lately after the skatepark. I ordered a hobby star fan so we will see. I think the blades are intact but it’s just weak

Understand. The RCP fan on top of that ESC works well. I have one on a few of mine.

What's your gearing at? I had the exact same issue and it never happened until I geared my Senton Speed Runner 34/40. The fans advice is good because that's how I addressed my issue. A 5 fan setup. The only times I've ever thermaled were when I forgot to plug in the fans. But always, just before thermal shut down, it would cog badly.

Those fan guards look like they would restrict the airflow significantly. I respectfully suggest you find fan guards that have larger openings.
