Trx6 loosing power

[Teng24]

I have trx6 with stock receiver and radio with castle mamba x combo. Im having problem evrytime I run a few minutes on snow like loosing power and then coming back again. Its like a have a good run for few minutes then snow starts to pack up the later power on and off most like dying battery nut I just charge the battery full before going for a run.

What motor and gearing are you running?

Have you checked the temps on your motor when it loses power?

Is the snow packing so tight on the rig thats its adding resistance? That could sap some power and lead to burning up a motor potentially.

Checking temps should be a good hint if you're binding/seeing resistance. I would be hotter than normal if so.

Im running mamba x and castle 3800kv
9t 45t
Motor is hot after
Not much snow pack up for resistance
Power on throttle on and off like press on 1st nothing second time got power sometimes its like battery is dying like running slow then suddenly back to power

No batteries like the cold, could be just that.

[Voodoobrew]

That's what I was thinking. Cold batteries have a slowed chemical reaction speed, so they can't dish out the power. This means there is a massive voltage drop. You will see the esc sgut down early for the lipo cutoff. In a few seconds as the chemical reaction catches up the voltage Will rise and you can play again.

For low speed, high torque running, that motor is really fast, even geared that low.
