Patrick del Castillo told me it was 10% of the kv. With a rollout of 6.5 inches that would put this rig at a min speed of .3 mph or so, but I would at least double that figure or more to be conservative. The startup speed of the ESC is not the same as the minimum sensing speed however, so it might be trying to start the motor up much faster. Once you put the new diffs in your startup issues should go away, especially when you volt up.


Volting up right now might even help the startup, if only making it more abrupt and violent.


I really dig the build, I love how low and clean it looks. I still want to try this, but I sold my revo a while back and the emaxx isn't getting parted out yet. I have a 3032 I want to try, should be about like a 4020
