My brushless HPI Nitro MT Project

[GeeReg]

This hobby is supposed to be fun, right? I went to run my 1/8 buggy today and put in the new FM radio I was using on the MT. I get there and guess what...it starts glitching. Son of a ________!. I say to myself, "This can't be the problem. I tried the other PCM radio in it and it glitched before." So I get home, switch to the PCM radio in the MT and guess what, IT DOESN't GLITCH. Ugh, great so the problem is my brand new FM radio. I tried another receiver so it's not that. I think I'm going to try a different frequency set of crystals. If that doesn't fix it then I'm in trouble.

Cart: At least I know I'm not alone. It must be a software thing then.

Just got back from a top speed run. GPS says 46mph with 52/15 gearing and Dirt Hawgs. I also only got about 7 min of runtime. Does that sound right for a 6L? It is overgeared though so that might have something to do with it. Got some high temps also. It's about 90 out right now and the motor got to ~140, ESC ~ 145 and batteries ~160 in some places :026: . I think I'm gonna need fans. Again it could be because it was overgeared also.



*edit* Hmm. Out of curiosity I checked the voltage on the pack and it was at 10.25. Seems a bit high for a dead 8 cell pack. So I hook it up again and it's still fine. Does the Mtroniks have a thermal throttling where it will cut the voltage down or something and not just stop? Would it do it at only ~145 deg?

*edit 2* Or not....I just charged the pack and it took 3800 mah.
