low performance

[tallyram]

i'm getting low performance from my g2r. the throttle on my dx3 feels really spongy and there is barely any difference in speed between 1/2 throttle and 7/8 throttle. seems like this would be the controller's fault. i'm running a bk 12020. i read about someone else with the same controller and the same issue. i tried reprogramming it, but ended up with the same result. any thoughts? btw, i'm using a 1950/8t with 6s lipo. thanks, tally.

Are your batteries working good, BTW?

[tallyram]

i just sent one off to be fixed and bought a replacement. the other should be fine. i'm balancing them right now. i do have a thread on the balancer that mike sold me. the directions don't go into much detail, so i'm a little worried on that part.

Ciao Tallyram,
does your controller smell bad ?
Maybe it's just working on a few mosfets then when new.
All this if your batteries are not the iussue.

Ciao,
Daniele

not sure on the smell. how strong would it smell? i'm guessing it would smell lilke something burned up? i'll check it out! thanks.

This sounds like a problem with the esc. Check to see if any of your caps are popped.

I had the same problem. The 12020 also seemed to have no mid-throttle when I bumped it to corner. Hooked up my 9920, smooth as ever. I tried everything, adjusting my EPA, resoldering my wires, reprogramming, UBEC and receiver pack, nothing worked. I am sending it back to Mike and hopefully it will be fixed.

i think i'll do the same as giftacrylic. i'll have to wait until i can buy a new controller so i won't have any down time. thanks guys!

FYI, if the esc is not working properly, i wouldn't suggest to keep running it. More problems can occur doing this. A small problem is easier to find and fix then many!
