Throttle problem MMM and CC1717

[Brokenparts]

Its not running like it used too. It used to lite up all 4 tires from a stand still and now it just slowly rolls off the line before it starts to rip. Whats the deal? I am checking both battery packs atm. I put the timing back to normal and put the punch control to 0. I had it set to 20% becuase this thing is so powerful but now its just lazy.

If the truck is rolling slowly it seems to run at full power if I mash the throttle. From a stand still, its dead.

The only thing that I can think of that I did differently was. Last night I put one lipo on long term storage and left the other one alone. They were both fully decharged, the LVC on the esc stopped the run. This morning I charged them both like I normally do at 3.5amps and ran it.

One of the cells was slightly lower then the others after the full run yesterday.

Cell 1- 3.78
Cell 2- 3.71
Cell 3- 3.70
Cell 4- 3.52

None of the electronics get hot when I run and the motor is warm to the touch.The only other thing I can think of is the new firmware. I'm running 1.38 (beta) and not 1.32. Its the only thing I havent switched yet.

Gens Ace or Sky Lipos are excellent for the price @ HobbyPartz.com

Price aside, who makes quality lipos?
