every time i try climbing somthing in high range and i have to get on the throtle really hard it surges like the batterys dead but its not cause ill drive around for another hour. it only happens when my front end gets put under alot of stres my rear end doesnt do it

taylor smith · 03-09-2007, 10:13 PM

take it outa high gear and get a tighter belt for th front end. worked for me.

Rc_Kid · 03-09-2007, 11:29 PM

iv got tighter belt on front then rear.my belts arent stock or nothin and i like runin around in high cause iv got enough power i can climb throuigh my course in my back yard prety easilly,plus i dont like carrying it all the time and in low it doesnt do it but in high i loose all power for a second then i get stuck and have to put it in low

taylor smith · 03-09-2007, 11:42 PM

what gen. do you have? cause i got #1 and high gear could barely pull itself. so i locked it in low gear for good.

Rc_Kid · 03-09-2007, 11:50 PM

iv got a gen one or gen two and this is the one i just rebuilt sense steering engine went out on other one iv got another thread about that but yea

my front end just surges when under alot of strees needing more throtle and it falls on its face,but when at a qaurter throtle its good but not moving cause iv got no power at that much throtle

taylor smith · 03-10-2007, 12:04 AM

hmm i dont know then cause my crawler sucked in high gear.

DJEEPER · 03-10-2007, 12:07 AM

check for anything wrapped around your axle inside the actual axle housing like hair or leaves or your neighbors cat. it sounds like either your motor is dying or you are overloading the motor. the electronics on my 4th generation has an overload-failsafe circuit which will shut the jeep down if stressed

taylor smith · 03-10-2007, 12:10 AM

sounds likie that would be the problem to me. i havent had any problems with the way i wired mine so far.

Rc_Kid · 03-10-2007, 12:15 AM

yea it could be that having such a small belt on the front and not having close to same size belt on rear and the front having to pull the rear end up the obsticle may be triggering that fail safe

its not hurting anything its just anoying one minute ur climbing somthing then the next minute ur rolling back down that obsticle

Gizmo · 03-10-2007, 08:30 PM

Its your failsafe kicking in. When I would drive mine in high gear with tight belts it would power down for like a half a second when the axles got any stress on them (like while climbing a steep hill). Its basicaly your crawler saying "screw you, I'm taking a break!"

taylor smith · 03-10-2007, 08:34 PM

ha thats a good one. mine use to do that till i put new gears and a tighter belts on it.

Rc_Kid · 03-11-2007, 12:33 AM

just another qusetion how do u double the gearing?

and do i have to cut anything out of the axel housing

bronco brother · 03-12-2007, 06:48 AM
