Lately while crawlin my rig has had an issue of motor stall . Its been shutting down when in a tight situation so I would turn it off and on then this stalling started going on . I bought a Rx pack (not installed yet) for the shutdowns . tested the battery , cleaned the motor (brushes @ 75%).
Had something happened to the XRS during these shutdowns ?

running gear :
TLT , Pede trans (geared down as far as it'll go) , XRS esc , futaba radio , Jr ST125mg servo.
my only option left is to reprogram it (gotta get into the baloon , waterproofed).
anyone else had this issue ?

TLTCrawlin · 04-04-2007, 08:15 PM

Im running exact same thing, its getting hot from the balloon. XRS get hot from low amp draw (low throttle) and get hot, the balloon is capturing the hot air, like ah ot air balloon, and its thermal shutdown system is kicking on!

Highmark · 04-04-2007, 08:24 PM

I'd blame the batterys, or a worn out motor before I would blame the ESC.

TLTCrawlin · 04-04-2007, 08:27 PM

LOL read my post, if you sit there with a XRS and give it throttle when in a bind when its warm itll shut down!

RockRacer1 · 04-04-2007, 08:50 PM

Ya think it hurt anything ? I'll pull it out of the baloon and reprogram it
tonight along with puttin in the Rx pack .

TLTCrawlin · 04-04-2007, 08:52 PM

Try running it as it is without a balloon

!

RockRacer1 · 04-04-2007, 08:55 PM

thats what I ment ( left out a word) it

TLTCrawlin · 04-04-2007, 08:57 PM

Yup... I am going to buy a moped and balloon it for my scale rig, XRS will stay in my comp XRC, and ill add a NOVAK servo regulator for more servo powa!

FrankyRizzo · 04-05-2007, 12:17 AM

I run a few and have really had no issues. One guy in our group bought my old J2 that has an XRS and it is having stall issues.

I will follow this thread and see if there are others.

TLTCrawlin · 04-05-2007, 12:33 AM

I only get weak servo after the pack is near gone. But before that its go no problem pushign a 165oz/in servo!

I might have got the better ones but donno!

You didn't mention what kind of and batteries you are running.

If you are running AA cell packs, they don't put out enough amps to pull your truck out of a bind. If you're not running a lathe motor, you might not have enough torque.

RockRacer1 · 04-05-2007, 07:55 PM

its a 6-cell 3300 matched nihms. it had plenty of power 2 weeks ago.
I even switched packs with my son's rig and same issue . his works great with my pack in it also

JohnRobHolmes · 04-05-2007, 09:46 PM

Did you try an RX pack yet?

RockRacer1 · 04-07-2007, 12:48 AM

balloons gone and stalling fixed , reprogramed it . I think the stupid button got bumped .
( why does it stick out like that , others are inverted )
testing the Rx pack tommorow .

RockRacer1 · 04-07-2007, 09:04 PM

I tested the Rx pack today , Wow what a difference . Mad steering , gotta add more weight to the tires soon . The only stall I had was when the battery was almost dead .

Carnage : none to the crawlers but after the batteries were dead I took my jeep up some obstacles and tweaked the RR leaf spring a bit .
(leans to the right)

Note to self : hurt the R.C.'s not the jeep .

RockRacer1 · 04-08-2007, 09:21 PM
