| Re: What Powers Your Wraith?
Finally decided on the pro4 -- mainly because I am lazy and don't want to deal with maintenance of brushed. Running 56/13 but thinking about changing it to 11. Any one know if 56/11 will mesh? here is my stupid question: I when going slow, and then encounters a rock, it will stall, then I give it more throttle till it slowly goes over the rock. On its way down, I have to remember to back off on the throttle or else it will jet off. Am I correct to assume this is the difference between brushed vs brushless? Meaning, in brushed, you don't have to vary your throttle as much (hence smoother)? thanks |

Any permanent magnet motor will increase in speed when the load is taken off. You may try using a lower startup power if you aren't already, it affects how the low end feels on the MMP controller.

White one has a Pro4 3300 kV with a Mamba Max Pro ESC and blue one with the ROC 412 3100 kV with a Tekin RS ESC, and they are almost the same, on crawling control as well as full throttle hills |
