|  any electronic guru's?
Is there a way to use a resistor to limit the power going to the front motor on steep climbs? or a capacitor to throw a little extra juice to the rear? Just doing my part to solve the clod stall issue. I love my axial and my tlt, but i see a lot of potential in the CC.

I just thought of something. Could a person wire the two motors together in series to send the excess(unused) power to the rear motor? Or am I wandering in the pastures of "alreadydiditville"

you should play the role of guinea pig and try it out  and then you will know |

I would but I'm no electronics guru.how do you hook up a resistor ?what size do i need?do they even come In tiny sizes? I'll try it but i need some guidance

well its kinda hard to say what size you need. this is kinda a blind study but i would assume that the size all depends on how much you wanna slow the motor down.you should be able to find an in-line resistor. the place to check would be radio shack. it may be a trial and error job...  but what the hell i will look into it to. i will let you know what i come up with. |

one thing that wont work is wiring the motors in series because if you did that only the front or rear would get power when the other gets more traction or in a very small bind making it impossible to crawl with it

i run a tamiya resistor block on my front axle.... its from a TL01 tamiya touring car MSC. it really makes a difference with the clod stall

if i was u guys i would try like to rtr losi speedo on a y harnes like the stock streering is just some cheepo speedos but be sure they r the same kind an this should slove all the probs u r haveing. keep in mind u will have to run 2 batts to do this but i really think it will work

...a volt cap on the rear motor might work. now im interested as well. do you think if you induced clod stall on like a workbench and took an amp draw test w/ a dvom (digi volt ohm meter), we could size up a capacitor to compensate.

See if you can rig an old rc10 speed control resistor into the front motor wiring. Then you can vary the resistance to your liking. If you really wanna get tricky, attach a mini servo to it with a 3rd channel and vary as needed while running.

| capacitor in rear...
i was thinking if you tested the motors with a volt meter, place the meter on the hot wire when clod stall happened, you would know how many volts each motor was getting. place a cap (if they make one that small) on the motor circuit. i don't even know if this will work, honestly. just an idea.

resistor in the front... or cap in the rear... i'll run some test in the morning and start asking questions. i bet fry's electronics would have something to solve this clod issue.

I'm just worried that the cap in the rear wouldn't really work. From what I've read, the clod stall problem isn't an issue of current loss to the rear motor.I think a Cap in the rear would cause the rear motor to spool up as soon as it wanted to stall and flip your CC.A res in the front would be a constant shortage of current to the front, hopefully giving the rear a chance to stay in the game a little longer before the front completely takes over. I think i'm on the right track, I just don't know the proper terminology.What do you think?

i keep meaning to test the current draw on the motors, but a buddy has my volt meter. i do see your logic on the resistor on the front. i think it would work better than a cap on the rear
