motor stalling. not clod stall

[stanmondz]

its a 65t integy in my 6x6 i just built, (but had same problem with the ax10 that was used for the 6x6 build)with a sidewinder v1 esc.

iv tried a different known good esc, 2 other known good motors, different tx/rx. all of which had the same issue in both trucks.my servo is powered strait off the 2s main pack. geared 14/87. mesh is right, and no drivetrain bind. unless something is binding under load. everything spins free on the bench. no excessive slop in the tranny or axles to cause parts to move around under load. batteries are 2s 4000mah 20C, and i tried a 1300 2s 40c. both packs are good and charged.
i recalibrated the esc/radio and checked everything else in castle link. same settings i run on other castle esc's. the esc isn't going into protection, or getting warm. the motor will get hot fast if i stay on the throttle

what am i missing

When was the last time the motor was rebuilt?

[stanmondz]

when i started acting up in the ax10. maybe 2 packs on it since then.
fresh cut,new brushes and cleaned and oiled baring

That sounds like a stalled armature to me, the same thing happened to my brood 40t. Not much you can do other than buy a new motor.

OK, just the 65T Integy has the issue? You state you tried other radios, other motors & other ESC's, other batteries, it's getting confusing to me. What worked/didn't work?

If the other motors work on the original ESC and the 65T has issues on any ESC, then yes, since it's been serviced I would agree it's a stalled/shorted armature. I've had it where the rig sits there even with throttle, but give it a nudge it works fine until you stop it again.

The only fix is a new armature or a new motor....unless you can wind your own arms.

Would it act like that if the esc was in brushless mod?

Check brush movement in the brush hood also check the brush springs I had the same thing happen after a rebuild cleaned the brush hoods an new spring prob gone hope this helps

If the arm is shorted you can just buy a new armature...no need to buy a whole new motor.

everything i tried does the same thing. its all in a 6x6 now and is much more noticeable. it weighs around 13lbs so far. im starting to think all my electronics are ok, just not enough motor with 1 540 to get it done in a rig this big. im gonna get a 550 12T titan tomorrow and see how that goes
