|  MM+45T=smoke...help!!
put my electronics in my losi 1/10 crawler over the weekend,went to run it today and after a minute or two I noticed a little smoke coming off the motor......also noticed some "motor stall',and it wasn't bound up too hard,not pegging the throttle while a wheel was locked in a hole. the setup MM,45t,CC bec,18t pinion,11.1 1100 lipo,using a dx11... this setup was in my rockstar chassis with no problems,the only difference was a 55t and pinion.the motor is at 0 degrees timing and is new but cut on the lathe. so any ideas why it would be smoking?? and no there is no binding in the driveline |

possibly the 45t was crap. Put the 55t in it and see if it does the same thing.

| MM=45t...smoke..why??
put my electronics in my losi 1/10 crawler over the weekend,went to run it today and after a minute or two I noticed a little smoke coming off the motor......also noticed some "motor stall',and it wasn't bound up too hard at all. the setup MM,45t,CC bec,18t pinion,11.1 1100 lipo,using a dx11... this setup was in my rockstar chassis with no problems,the only difference was a 55t and pinion.the motor is at 0 degrees timing and is new but cut on the lathe. so any ideas why it would be smoking?? and no there is no binding in the driveline |

Most everyone is having trouble with this roller I have been told there is way to much bind in the drive train and thats a major cause of motor and esc failure my son has smoked 2 brushed motors I am running a brush less system and it is cogging and stalling out due to the bind it is encountering s helps some hope this helps Stay Tuned for Chapter 2  |

this crawler is meant for high speed motors because of the worm gears it needs at least a 35 turn that is REALLY fast like 3s lipo so it doesnt overheat

x2! They say (Losi) to not run anything but a 35t and lower.....the worm axles are going to cause this (Heat) to happen....

Good ol Losi smoke. :-( Them worm gears need some power to turn them. Good Brushless system on 3s/4s seems to be the answer. |
