Hey guys, I have a new Senton 550 Mega V3. After running through only three 2S lipo packs the stock motor burned out. I threw in a spare 15T 550 motor I had laying around just for test purposes. After about 30 mins of driving on the replacement motor, it too is starting to now give off a burnt smell. The motor isn't fully burned out yet, but the smell says it's heading that way very soon. I've been poking around to see if there is any binding going on. If I hold the truck in the car and give it throttle, then let go all of the wheels stop very abruptly...not sure if thats normal or not. Also, I can move the driveshaft freely by hand, but it does take a bit of effort/force. I've never touched the slipper clutch since it came out the box. Could an overly tight slipper be causing my motor issues? I'm already aware that the general consensus here is that the stock 550 motors are trash, but I still would like to adjust the slipper if it's causing driveline issues. I have a Titan 12T 550 that will be delivered tmrw that I plan on installing, but once/if that burns up then I will definitely be going the brushless route with this thing.
