help, new motor kicks arse, for a coupla mins..

[James]

put an 11x2 epic-D6 based mod motor (team-paradigm) in my truck today, set it up, rah rah. charged up a pack (GP3300 stick, not matched, cheapy)

took it for a blat... It kicks arse, BUT, after a few mins, or less, it runs right out of oomph! i pick up the truck, throttle it, and it balloons the tyres hardcore, but put it down and it barely moves...

my stick pack shagged/no good? needing some matched packs?

still learning ;)

Sounds like gearing.
Does the motor get hot? Like too hot to touch?

[James]

motor does NOT get hot...

i'm being very very careful with the hot hot hot thing. i cooked my last $50 motor. this one cost me twice as much, being careful.

definately not hot.

would love to try someone's "good" cell's for a 5 min blast sometime.....

really cant race the interclub on my pack's, they suck sh*t.

if someone's good pack works well for me, then I'll order some new matched cells from harris r/c, or simular... asap before interclub

James you're welcome to try one of my packs. I run paradigm D6 motors as well, and they'll go a whole race even on my crap packs. Next meet (friday night if we're lucky), come see me and try a good pack.

cool, thanks mate!
