mamba 25 high powered brushed help

hi


just started running a 370 brushed motor on my mamba 25 ESC have set it up as per instruction and have wired it up correctly

the motor runs fine but on the track but it gradualy gets slower and slower

the motor isn't to hot (you can hold it in your hand) and the ESC is only warm

i have tried a differnt motor and the same happens

ESC running to latest firmware

any one have any ideas

The problem is with your battery. What type of battery are you running? I am assuming it is an NiMH pack from the "gradualy gets slower and slower" part. The battery is the most important part of the system, without a quality pack, you won't be going very far...

running match team scream cells

have tryed over 5 packs

three of which are new

just upgreade to a 2s lipo to get rid of that- you can get a plenty good one for $40 or so.

i got a 2200 from dan at truerc for 32 shipped

The mamba 25 runs brushed motors? I never knew that!

yup so does the mm, theres a setting for all three high powered brushed,brushed, and bl

Didnt know that!

yea the mm is a very versitlile unit, for that and many other reasons

yep but all that aside does any one have an answer to my problem

yeah I thought the consensus was that it was a battery issue - sounds like it to me. I run the mamba 25 and the MM in brushed mode with 2s lipo and have never experienced that.
