The RC Car
RCTalk Talkaholic
Hey y'all! I took the slash out for a drive two days ago and it overheated after about 10 minutes, the temperature was in the 60s (Fahrenheit). I thought this was weird, but set it too cool down (it has an ESC fan btw), and after 30 minutes it still hadn't cooled down. I unplugged the batt and went home, I checked my batts (lipo 2s) to make sure they weren't the cause, and they were good, all the cells were balanced. Next, I went straight to the receiver box. I made sure that all excess wire was outside of the receiver box. I took the car out, drove it down the driveway, and the ESC promptly overheated. I wondered if the pinion gear might be too close to the spur gear somehow be creating an insane amount of drag. Nope. Is my motor "cogged" for the second time this year? If y'all have any idea what it might be let me know, please. I'm a basher btw. Really considering selling my Slash (it would be a tough parting, I love that thing!) and just getting and Arrma or a drone.
