|  Wiring Twin Axiom 50T Motors Question?
I just replaced my motors on my super with two brand new Axiom 50T brushed motors. I wired them exactly as the other motors were wired...parallel wiring to a single ESC (or so I thought). I am running a single Mamba MAX ESC and a Spektrum radio & receiver. After mounting and wiring the motors up, they were turning in opposite directions. I swapped the neg & post on one motor and then they were both going in the same direction. However, now, every so often, one end (motor) will seize up or stop and the other will keep moving??? Do I need to reset my Mamba? Do I need more power? Any ideas as to what in the heck is going on here???  Last edited by krikir; 10-26-2007 at 09:07 AM. |

Is it always the same motor that locks up? Could very well be a bad bearing or something caught in the motor like a screw.

I found an axle pin coming out and binding with the knuckle. I think this is the "freeze-up" culprit. I have secured it and it seems to be the fix. I have rewired the motors and still experience quite a lot of clod stall. I will see what I can do to fix this now.
