Mamba max esc on crt.5 issues....

Well its def not the gearing. I ran it around the house for less than 5 minutes just to test the steering. First thing I noticed was major cogging, much more than I have ever experienced with the MM. Also the delay between forward and reverse is way too long...it will coast then engage and a couple times reverse seemed to not even engage. Then again I was coasting into walls. It seems the brakes are not even engaging the way its coasting.

Then after the run I did a temp test. Wow really hot for some coasting up and down the hall...esc was 155* and the motor was 115. Then drivetrain feels pretty smooth too.

I really wish I had my castle link cable. I have not ran these electronics for a couple months and probably could use an update. I think I am going to manually rest it and see if that helps.

Open to suggestion for troubleshooting.

I have been having a similar problem lately. The mamba max in my .5 overheats after only 2-3 min of runtime with my 5000mah 3s packs. I have a 12T pinion on it. Could it be my Neu 1509-1Y (3600kv)? It works a little better with a bec, but in my communication with castle tech support they said it should work fine without the bec. My other cars are geared for about 30mph as well and in refrence top speed of the .5 seems way higher... Could it be the motor?... fried coil?
