Just got in from another run, my second of the day. Did all high speed runs and it lasted about 10 minutes. For some reason, my 13 GP3300 non matched batteries dump a lot quicker on the second run than the first. When I say a lot, I meant like 5-7 minutes sooner. Can anyone tell me why my batteries do this? I don't have another set of quality batteries, so I've never seen others perform. Also, I just have the stock TQ3 radio with a shortened receiver wire that I need to fix, but it hasn't given me any problems yet.
Anyways, when I brought it in and took it back to the shop, I was checking the temps. The highest on the motor was 32C due to the shorter run time. I also noticed that the 6 cell pack was way too hot to touch. Then I noticed that the duct tape I had put around the lower bar of my steel rollcage was kind of torn in one spot, letting the battery bar touch the metal. I also noticed that the other end of the battery was touching the metal too:eek:! It was shorting itself out:mad:1! I quickly pulled the rollcage away from the battery and unstrapped it from the chassis. I had to pull it out by the wires because it was too hot to touch. I have it in my cooling stand with a fan on it as I type. I hope it is ok. I will try to put some electrical tape on it now so it won't happen again.
btw, this brushless is AWESOME!!!

Thanx a lot guys
Later,
Brijar!!!
