1/8 buggy problem

[scarletboa]

believe it or not, when i first started soldering, my solder joints were worse than those ones. was using a 40w corroded soldering iron with cheap lead-free solder. i ended up getting a radioshack 230/150w soldering gun and some good old fashioned 60/40 lead solder and some flux paste. now, my solder joints look like they were done from the factory. the quality of your soldering mainly depends on 2 things: materials that you use and amount of practice that you have.

i would definitely revise those solder joints before trying to rule anything else out on your setup.

I've pooped out better solder joints.

It's either that horrible mess you call wiring or a demagnetized motor. Is there a chance you got your motor really hot?

Keep soldering and get better. We all start somewhere.

lol, ye hopefully the motor overheated, one time, l went to give it throttle and it would'ntwork at all, l had to turn it off then back on?

Did these problems exist before the xerun esc?

Did these problems start immediately after the install of the new esc?

If the problems started with the install of the new esc, it is most probably a wiring problem.

A demagnetized motor is permanently damaged and cannot be fixed, this happens by getting them too hot.

Try your old esc, or have another go at soldering.

na, it just happened yesterday for the first time, l'll solder the other part and hopefully all back to normal, still thinking about getting the 2650kv castle with 22.2v ;)

Don't do that. You will just kill another motor. If you want to run 6S stick to the CC 2200kv motor and be done with it. With right gearing and decent lipos (you already have a good ESC) you should be pushing 75mph+ easily and have a reliable, fast buggy. 2650kv motor will run hotter and on 6S it will be around it's maximum safe RMP. Not a good thing if you want your motor to last a while.

someone told me that l should run the 2650kV because of the weight of my buggy, it only weighs 7.71lbs 3.5kg with 11.1v and with 22.2v it weighed at 9.1lbs 4.12kg, it wouldn't run as hot as it would with a heavier buggy.
