Sudden Brakes?

[giftacrylic]

No, just a real quick "POP" followed by a nose dive.

Would you be able to try a different radio system just to eliminate that as being a possibility?

[giftacrylic]

Do not have one as of yet.

[squeeforever]

you might want to check the radion in another car or check the antenna on the rx

[RC-Monster Mike]

I agree, it sounds like a radio related issue. The controller will act this way if it temporarily loses signal. Do you notice it more towards the end of the run?

[giftacrylic]

It does seem to happen more toward the end, but it will also happen some throughout the run.

If it is a radio issue though it seems a little strange that it doesn't happen on throttle aswell.Does it happen more at further range particularly towards the end of a run?

[giftacrylic]

Installed new DX3 radio, same problem.

Solution: Center chassis aluminum skid plate was rubbing my Gorilla Maxx aluminum single speed tranny. Replaced it with a plastic chassis brace, no more problems

[Serum]

okay, it was a mechanical problem then..

[giftacrylic]

No, I think (correct me if I am wrong) that the 2 pcs. of al. rubbing caused some type of interference.

[Serum]

which was a bit hard to filter from your words.... ;)

[Gustav]

I thought metal on metal interference wasn't possible on 2.4 Ghz(the dx3)?

hmm - sorry to bump it - but would this problem be able to be solved withOUT getting rid of the alum part? Like - could the two parts be coated in something possibly where the contact is being made?

Just curious to know what other solutions could be possible in case it ever happens to me at some stage through - whatevers -lol-

[coolhandcountry]

could you place something between them. Maybe file down one of the parts a little bit so it don't touch. Or maybe a combo of the group.

thats what i was thinkin - maybe like some sort of semi kinda-stiff, thin foam piece? :)
