extreme cogging!!!!
 

my sidewinde 4600 it cogging alot all of a sudden if was runing great before I'm running promatch ener-g 4600mah batteries so it's not my battery so could it just be my motor? or what should I do?

Does it move it all? if it just sits there and cogs without moving its usually one of the motor wires has come loose.

it will barly move but I'll have it WOT and all of the motor wires are good

check all of your solder connections

When it was running, did the motor ever get really hot? I mean something around 200*F or more...

never got that hot but it get to about 115 which is pretty hot considering it used to a like 95

115 is not that hot...I would check and recheck all solder connections. If a connection loosens up, it will put strain on the motor/esc.

Yeah, it does sound like a connection issue to me too...

F or C? :p

F sorry about tht

My daughter's crt.5's motor and esc were steaming hot recently...upon inspection, the neg. wire on the esc deans had all but come off and only a minute amount was still on straining the components.

Fully charge the pack and make sure it is taking a full charge. If you have a dead cell in the pack that could cause it. A bad connection between the cells can do it as well. Plug into the computer and re-flash the software on the ESC, then re-calibrate the ESC to your radio (full throttle, full brake, neutral...in the manual). Unplug all the motor to ESC connections, and see if any of them are easy to pull apart. If one is, put something into the end of the connector and spread the legs apart a little. Also, try another battery.

I have had about 10 or more promatch packs. They are great batteries BUT you have to put alot more shoe goo in between the cells or hard bumps will cause the solder joints to crack(EVERY PM PACK I HAVE OWNED DID THIS) Once I shoe gooed them and added alittle more solder to the joints they gave me years of worry free performance

well I checked the solder connection but it looked ok, so I'll resolder it in a little. but what else could it be? also my cells were in a stick pack with end bars and shrink wrap

I believe you have upset the RC gods and your only option is to present a 13 yr old virgin for sacrifice

May they have mercy on us all. Quick someone find a 13y old virgin. Their is a bunch on the TRX forums.:intello:

Lol do they want a dude or a lady? can't be too many of the female kind around in this day and age :whistle:

Ouch!! Im glad Im not a member there.

No doubt. Its a sad thing isnt it? Well unless your the 14 or 15 year old dude thats slaying them :neutral: Just kidding its a sad thing b/c my daughter is almost that old(NOOOOOOOOOO :oh: )

Yeah be careful E-fanatic I had a friend in middle school who preferred to go by the name "The Virginator".

That guy is a dork, I do not care (or care to think about) how many teens he de-flowered...

If he went by that name he was either packing a pringle's can or the girls were extra dumb... Either way its the girls fault if they go along with it...

As far as the cogging, you most likely have a dirty or bad connection in one of the 3 - 4mm bullet connectors that connect the motor and esc wires. I have had that issue before.

cogging
 

I to am haveing this same problem,on acceleration it coggs like a son of a gun, and it didnt do it until recently,i've checked all the bullet connectors and they fit very tight,i havennt pulled the cap off the motor to check the solder in the motor wires.ive tried to re-flash the firm ware,recalibrated the esc,when running my normal batteries(tenergy 8.4v 3800mah) it does it,when i put a 3s lipo it went away. anybody have any ideas?

Sounds like the batteries problem. If it was a connection it wouldn't matter what the power source was.

so should i just get rid of the 8.4V? and only run lipo's? what about this,thers two spot on my street when i run it always glitches,but only when i roll through it, not on the throttle? im thinking it a "bad spot on my street",any ideas?
