ok what gearing are you running. if you are running the 87-14 to keep it from stalluing your gonna need to volt up. Or you can drop down to a 12t pinion or stay with the 14 and step up to a 90t spur. Either will solve the stalling problem. |

| He said it is stalling. In other words when he gets it in a bind it stalls out. They don't make 11t 48p pinions, and a reciever pack won't help. Neither will a cap. Those would only help with glitching. Totally different than what he is saying. Oh and on a crawler its better to add and external BEC rather than another battery pack. |

Gear down and volt up...one or both,that will help or get rid of stalling. A good motor will do better as well. | |

I am also currently running the same motor on stock gearing with 2 cell lipo... I did not find it to stall all that often the only time i can stall it out is in a pretty bad bind.... |

Just remember, when you "volt-up & gear down" you will at some point find the limits of your driveshafts, lockers, outputs, etc. Also, you need to stay within the voltage limits of your esc. I don't mean to be a killjoy, you just need to keep these things in mind. |

How old are your brushes, do you have good spring tension on your brushes?

Is your pinion meshed too tightly against your spur gear? Does your truck have a loud whine when it runs? Sometimes people just pop in a new motor and tighten it down, not considering how much resistance a tight mesh creates. Ask me how I know |
