I think my problem may be the reciever itself but lets see what you guys say.
I put the front and rear steering on channel 1 with a y harness, everything was fine with both the stock esc and a the dynamite 12t. Now that I have the EVX-2 however the steering has slowed to the point that its very difficult to drive. in fact if im on the throttle the steering barely works, and will not center until I let off the throttle completely. :bang
I also noticed a slowed down acceleration, I figured the the problem was simply the Traxxas 12t motor so I swapped out to go back to the E-MAXX 21t titan....still no accel....
Tried the 14.4v on the 21 turn....a little better but not much. top end seems fine, gear mesh is a little tight but not enough to slow it down. It's not like I wedged the thing in there!!
I'll be digging through the 32p gearing to find a spur that works, I can not set the mesh properly on this truck as it causes the gears to grind like a mug!! I've already came away from the stock pinion and went to a Robinson...still did it, so I then went to a Traxxas and it got better, but still have to set the mesh a little tight. Now I've had 4 different motors in this thing, and my accel problem did not start until the third motor and now no matter which motor or ESC I have in it the problem persists. I am wondering however, if this may be the radio itself. When I first put the Futaba Magnum in it (at the same time I swapped the ESC for the Tazer) is when this all started. and as I said...4 motors, and 3 different ESC's...same resaults. I screwed up though....I wasnt paying attention when I pulgged in the ESC and accidentally plugged it into the battery inlet. So I'm thinking I may have done some damage to the receiver guys. let me know what you think.
OHHHH....I havent gone brushless because I cant afford it...all these motors and ESC's I've either had....or scored for 10 bucks...
Final questions....will the 12t 550 from traxxas hold up to 14.4 volts? I have the 21 in it right now...but if it will thats what is going in it. And can I wire the motor like the 775 in the Summit on either of the 550's?
