NICE little motor only thing

I have a smoothness problem (start-stop-start) right off neutral..when level nice and smooth but when the rig comes in contact with anything where it requires the slightest increase in pulling power. I get** (start-stop-start)* I need to apply more throttle to compensate or to get pass the problem then it is smooth again. This happens whether forward or reverse.

I use the castle micro sidewinder ESC and futaba 4pk radio

Anybody else having this happening

Does the sw micro have torque control? You can use that to tune out the start-stop-start lurching.

Oh John that torque setting...should it be high % or low% if I manage to get it to work on the new micro sidewinder V2 ESC

Well I did find the torque setting in the castlelink but when I tried the motor test it would not work..never finished the motor test on my ESC
I did download the setting before exiting the castlelink program...

Well after trying unsuccessfully to programming my old micro sidewinder sporty I am buying a new version the micro sidewinder V2 and starting this all over when I get it...thanks HH for replying if I have problems I will asking for HELP

Typically a low setting is enough. A micro X will do better but isnt as small.

Losi MRC is very tight for space especially with a boddyless chassis

Love this motor just got to work out the bugs and hope I don't fry it in the meantime

So, the micro x is a good match for this motor? I thought small sensorless brushless motors studder at low speed, not the case with this setup? Thanks.

The micro sidewinder V2 did make difference in the (start-stop-start) at low throttle. I'm sure the micro x would be better if there is room in your rig...I set all the settings as John HH described in his castle setup video on YouTube... now to get it out to my favorite testing area
