What's wrong here? Now with video! - 08.17.2008, 10:39 PM

After this little video (and a short one after it) all connectors are hot to the touch, the motor was very hot, and the esc was hot. All from like 10 seconds. When I take the motor off the spur, it spins fine.

I had something like this happen before, it turned out to be bad solder on the bullet. I checked the this time, one was loose so I soldered it better.

negative.. I tried medium, then high. It's amazing how quick it all heats up.

I have been changing pinons a lot, yes. But no pinions I haven't already tried. Set screw is tight if that's what your thinking.

that is probably why, making the motor turn the wheels further per rotation, more load


remember your testing wihtout any airflow over the esc

did the problem clear up?

How do I do that? This motor has no screws to open it up.

Hard to see from the video but before the truck rolled forward was the spur rotating or just trying to rotate like going back and forth? If so you might want to check connection between motor and ESC it seems 1 phase is not working/connected properly.

I believe it's the motor. I hooked up my sidewinder and it did the same thing.

Any ideas of a next step? I feel the bullets are on there pretty good.

My GTP with neu/quark set up did the same thing. It was a bad connection where the wires attach to esc. I re-soldiered it and all is good.
