|  no torque at all
my wraith has no torque. i have a venom 60 amp esc and 55t modified fireball crawler motor. i plugged in a fully charged 5000mah 6 cell batt. and a cc 10 amp bec. i havent plugged in the bec to my castle link yet. is my bec taking too much voltage from the motor? i tried to go up a wall just to flex it out and it had trouble and the tires didnt want to spin. with a fully charged battery, shouldnt i be breaking drivelines if my wheels get stuck?

How old is the battery? Sounds like it is time to upgrade to Lipo.

Depending how you motor is connected to your esc (if it was bullet plugs) you can connect them directly to the battery to eliminate the esc as one of the problems .

What gearing do you use? The standard gearing or something else?

| Re: no torque at all
The slipper is Tightened down all the way and my motor is brand new so the brushes should be fine and I am using the stock gearing. I am wondering if I installed the battery eliminator circuit correctly. I unplugged the red wire from my speed controller and plugged it into the receiver. Then I soldered the battery Eliminator circuit red and black wires to the red and black wires on my speed controller. Then I plugged the battery eliminator circuit into the receiver. Did I do everything correctly? If you guys need Pictures I can post them when I get off of work today. Sorry for all of the capitalized letters where they are not needed I am using my iPhone to text

Your description of how you have it hooked up sounds correct and doubt it is taking to much from the motor. It does sound like either a battery or motor issue. In the past I've had 2 venom motors not last more than 5 packs before they went up in smoke of a 6cell nimh battery Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

| Re: no torque at all
you attached the BEC wires to the Battery Side of the ESC correct? Not the motor side...

Thank you everyone for all the help. I don't know what it was but I didn't do jack squat and all of a sudden it works fine. SMR 510RR........yes I hooked the bec wires to the battery side.

Its a problem eith the bec, This happened to me exactly during a comp. Try driving without the bec for a while if it happens again. If its dead, get a new one!

Everything is brand new including the batteries. Everything. I bought the kit and just finished building it. Nothing should be working incorrectly unless its a defect butIt works fine now so idk. Well see what happens.

| Re: no torque at all
I wouldn't rule out mechanical issues. Overtightened screws, bearings not seated correctly and too tight gear mesh are all examples of factors that add friction and result in the type of problems you describe. I had it with my LCC when it was brand new, because some screws were overtightened by the factory. |

| Re: no torque at all
It was a kit. I built everything. But I know what you mean. You can hear the gears when they're too tightly meshed . I think it was my battery because it fully charged and didn't even get hot or warm and I just found this Morning that the wrap on it was cracked so something happened to it.
