I chaged it to forward/proportional w/reverse and the cogging is gone,doesn't heat up any more with the brake either. 
Not sure how long it ran on the batt's,I changed the timing all around and played with brake percentages,and punch control just checking to see what these settings do.
I did not see a performance change in the timing,I have it set on low now(5),motor runs cooler and seems to make about the same power as the timing on highest.
I was playing with the punch control to try and get to accelerate hard with out the power wheelies,which are cool as h*** by the way,because on the clay all that translates to is wheel spin,I have it set on 40% and still pulls the wheels,but no where near as "violent"
so far I love it,I give many thanks to Sike for trying this motor and telling us about it. 
not sure how long the setup ran,but temps were 150 motor,120 batt's,110 esc.
do these seem to be inline and what they should be?
I also noticed after the throttle cut,I checked batt voltage in each pack.
one pack was 1 volt higher than the other,I didn't think it would do that wired in series.
Is this common or should I be worried?one batt was 6.6 and the other was 5.6 volts  |
I never really played with the settings as much as you have. I'll have to go back and try the lower timing.
Thank you for your kind words. You're very welcome. I believe this to be one of the most reliable, effecient setups around. The E Revo drivetrain is built to stand up to it also. It should give you many hours of fun.
The temps are looking good. That's more like it!
What Brand, mah, and C rating Lipo's are you running?
I have been running 5000mah 20C Lipos and they hardly break a sweat at all with this setup.
It's not common for one to drop so much lower than the other. Do an individual cell voltage test through the balance lead and see what you come up with.
I would also bump up the lvc some. It's usually not a good idea to discharge lower than 3.0 volts per cell.
Are your Lipo's the same age, same amount of cycles ran?
