my motor clicks when i shut it off

[majin]

another fusion pro, another new issue. seems the common factor across all my issues is user malefunction... sigh.. here i am again.
so i have the motor installed it APPEARS to be meshed correctly, did the paper thing.
when i power the car down, it grinds and clicks. its either the motor or driveshafts. and it could just me being overly worrisome.
but cmon you guys have seen some of how i drive.. reckless.

I have never seen a motor cycle like that when turning it off. That the Fusion Pro? Can you list your ESC settings?

I was watching the edge of the nut in slow mo and it' definitely turns when you power down.

Is it calibrated?

Can you list your ESC settings?

I have the same setup and it's smooth as butter. Not sure there is any settings in there that would do that? User Guide below.

@majin - just curious. Is your radio on while doing this? Always in this order: Radio on, car on. Car off, radio off.

Did you try this?

Try doing a factory reset too, then recalibrate.

I would also turn the FOC off and see if that might be what's causing it. Setting #1: Running Mode - set it to Forward/Reverse with Brake (Normal Mode). Just to test. If that stops it from doing it, I would call Hobbywing. Brush up on your Chingrish first by reading this 10 times...

It turns a few degrees when turning off... Probably some kind of bug, but doesn't look that problematic.

A sex change should fix your malefunction.
I can't help you out but I would just pull the plug if it's snapping hard on the drive train.

that worked 100 % silent on shutdown.
so i got a patch for my issue. i can wait for the reply from hobywing and still drive the truck, i didnt think pulling the plug would change anything lol.
it just powerd down tho.
thanks bro

Castles have been known for switch issues. My first one i cut the switch and twisted the wires. From then on I just unplug it because the battery needs unplugged anyways.

 

[Tunedfrog]

Honestly if it were mine, I wouldn't worry about it, it really doesn't look that drastic to me either.

 

[majin]

i was worried i was going to end up stripping something if i kept doing it
now ima just unplug it all good

I watched it at .25 speed to see if I can see what it's doing. It actually looks like it's hitting pretty hard. I would definitely want to find out why it's doing that, just in case there is an issue with the ESC that might cause it to fail later.

Who did you buy it through?

hobbywing, was a replacement motor they sent me after the other issue i had with the motor i put in the ecto,
first motor twitched
second motor clicks
but they both perform well

Nothing personal. You would be surprised at how many people forget to calibrate. We've all done it.

Is the patch supposed to fix the issue?

Has anyone else had this issue with a hobbywing fusion pro? Or are OP and I just unlucky? I have a Fusion SE that does not do this on power off. I've recalibrated multiple times but only unplugging the battery without turning it off solves this problem. Not the end of the world as unplugging the battery is good practice anyway, but it's still a bit concerning that either motor or ES may have some issues in the long term.


I just talked with amain hobbies support and the guy on the other end (I don't know his credentials) said he saw no concerns with the video I showed him. he said that the power has to discharge in the ESC when powering off. I'll just keep my fingers crossed it doesn't do any long term harm.

same answer i got, i sent one in for repair they said it was fine sent it back and it did same thing, like there was absolutely zero doubt this was the exact same motor, but like you said, i HAVE forgotten to unplug a battery in other trucks, but never this truck lol, i havent seen any lasting issues on my end tho,

Good to know. I'll do my best to ignore it for the few times I'm only shutting it off for a little bit and not unplugging. but boy is it a jarring sound.
