Also Brian, I put the Basic XL3100 back in with a 15tooth pinion and it seems a little more drivable at lower speeds than the 10L. It doesn't heat up as much either(still need to do further testing though).

One more thing, while running 3s in my .5 I get glitching. When the .5 is about 100 feet from me it nails on the brakes for a split second. It does this in different cars with different motors, just not on 2s. Would this be a BEC problem? It happened to me while I was at about top speed and it made the .5 do an endo(front flip) and cartwheel for about 100 feet, breaking a rear a-arm in the process. I got new ones coming from nitrohouse.com. Little things like this really get me all:019: :mad:1 :007: ya know?

Sorry for the rant!

I spoke with Mike several days ago and I think I'l go with a 1930/7 motor. The larger size and better quality will really help I think. When I get ready to order, I'll see what the price difference is between the 1930 and a basic XL.

Whenever I see any problem like this that appears only with higher voltage, I would immediately suspect the built-in BEC. It might simply be heating up due to the higher voltage of 3s and whatever servo load you have. You can try a receiver pack to see if it still happens. If it stops, you can then pick up a small UBEC. The dimension engineering ParkBEC would be ideal for this application and is very small.
