Problem with epic stock motor (15t)

[Steven_baugus]

I'm having a problem with my epic motor. I think the brush springs are wore out but i dont know. there is hardly any power and it wont start rolling unless i give it a "push". Also i have a slow titain motor that doesn't reach peak rpms... give any tips or advise. Thank you

does it happen right away or after you've run it for a little while?

If it's starting to happen after a little bit of running it might be getting too hot. Which means you may have it geared bad. I had that happen to one of my micros. The motor was getting too hot. I made a pinion change and problem went away.

Tried that

i tried that because i stripped a tranny gear so i am running a 23 tooth pinion, and a 90 tooth spur. I took its temp after running a whole 7.4 v pack and the temp was around 150-160 degrees.... sould i swap to hard brushes and heavy springs??? Also it still doesn't wourk at first. thanks:yes:

ok yeah, those temps are well within acceptable limits. I don't know if different brushes or springs would help, I'm not very good with fixing electrics. I just know what problems I've seen personally. Basically it sounds like your lacking contact. What specifically is causing that I don't know.

Ok

well i use bullet connectors for everything, esc battery motor. thanks i will get a new motor prolly.. thank you any other tips about the pede that are useful?

 

[Lessen]

I don't know anything about Stampedes. This is the first time you've mentioned what type of truck it is. I will however recommend switching all of your connectors to Deans Ultra. That's the standard around here.

Deans ultra

What is the price of deans ultra plugs

 

[Ericke1]

they are cheap but before you do that, make sure your motor is really the problem, is it you esc? do you have a spare motor you can plug in and check? Or try brining it to your LHS they will have a used one handy you can

well my titain motor funs fine on it but it is just the motor
not my esc
