|  Stall cure?
I upgraded to a TorqueMaster Mini and a Tekin FXR but I added a lot fo weight and some very sticky tires. It is definitly more capable then the stock form but it seems like it stalls alot. Mostly when I'm ruinning into a sheer face. It's like the motor will stop unles I give it massive throttle then it will jump and come out of it (or die totally). Could this just be due to me still using the stock battery or does everyone have this problem? I have a lipo on order ... anyone know where I can find alternate pinions? Maybe I'm just spoiled with my Holmes Handwound on my 2.2 but it seems like it stalls easier than it should. |

Did you flip the tranny? If so did you reset the timing on the motor? That may help.

Stock pinion ? If so, there your problem.

I have the same setup and did the same thing. I messed with the pinion/spur mesh and took the drag brake off 100% down to 80%. Cured it and ran great.

The stock battery may not provide more than a few amps before the voltage drops hard, it is fairly high resistance. You should notice a big difference with your lipo. Even with a new battery you won't get stall performance like a larger 540 motor however. The TorqueMaster mini is teeny tiny, and sticky tires combined with heavy weight is indeed a lot to ask. I have to give almost half throttle to get out of some binds. Beyond that I fear for the losi driveline. |
