There should be a sticky telling people to stop trying to get their vehicle(s) going when it stutters badly, it will always damage the ESC and things can be sometimes ugly. I saw a guy with the same problem at my LHS and I told him to stop as that would cause the ESC to burn, well he didn't listen and in about 10 sec. the ESC started smoking and the cause of this is like others mentioned, geared to the moon or a very high Kv motors geared to the moon as well. I would love to see people do this to their real vehicles.

Well since there are no conversion kits for this truck yet gearing can be hit or miss. No one has a set ratio to use, but it looks like what I was using was too much.

Your set up is basically similar as most 1/8 scale conversions. I go by BrianG's calculator and if you're not using the transmission it would have saved your MMM.
