Mamba monster cogging

[BrianG]

This is probably more explanation than you want, but when you gear up any system too high, the motor is effectively stalling. And when that happens, HUGE amounts of current can flow (well into the 1,000's of amps!) which can destroy batteries and ESCs. When an ESC is cogging, the motor isn't moving (or very little) and is essentially a stalled motor.

So, I don't think you should keep running it like this unless you gear WAYYY down, something like 15mph.

Try a timing at 0 first then us how its working !

I just tested the timing at all of the timing options.It cogged at every setting.It seems though as long as the truck is moving in either forward or reverse it doesn't cogg.If I am running at 1 mph in reverse and give it slight forward throttle,it just goes forward without cogging.I did notice that if I move the pinion gear even slightly to turn the motor,my motor fan that is plugged into the reciever changes rpm's.If I do 1 full rotation with the pinion,the fan speeds up and slows down 2 times each.Just something I noticed.
