Default Motor startups

I have recently finished my XR10 and took it out for the first real run. I began noticing that when I was starting a climb that the front axle started before the rear by a small but noticeable amount. Is this what is refered to as Clod stall, what might I do to remedy the problem, any help would be apreciated. Thanks.

My speed control has a setup for this. What ESC are you using? maybe this was enabled?

Single ESC & dig, or dual ESC??
What radio??

If a dual ESC depending on the radio, you could add some proportional to one motor or the other to help this out.

when climbing your rear motor has more of the weight so it stalls easier causing the front to still run which is clod stall. if running 1 esc put either a 1t smaller pinion in the rear or 1 larger in the front to help lessen the clod stall

I am running one esc the M2. I know a lot of people say it sucks but I guess I will see. I am running the Futaba t3pm mx. I will try the pinion change, I was thinking of changing them both already to get a little more torque out of the motors. Thanks guys.

Are you using a WantAmix to use the M2? I didn't think you could use a 3PM-x and a "dual ESC" without additional parts.
I run a 3PM-x, dual FX-r's & a WantAmix in my 2.2 MOA Bully rig.

As to the M2, I've read about a lot of issues, especially with the early ones, don't know if they finally fixed the issues.
I "fix" clod stall by changing the propo via the WantAmix.
Running slightly different pinions can also help.
