Not happy with Brushless Jato :(

I think you are overgeared and like Serum said, the batteries are probably a weak link. I'm assuming they are the stick packs....

Try gearing it much lower and see what happens. The 7700 is very fast so if it's only hitting 25-30mph then it's bogged down bad or the batteries are junk.

And if this is the case, then that would also explain the esc suicide...

Even with NO load on the motor (just free spinning), it just didn't sound right.. Nowhere near the RPM that my 18th's are getting..... Like, not even half, I'd be surprised if the motor was passing 20k rpm...

By gearing it down, do you mean smaller pinion gear?
