RACING 1/8 BUGGY vid

About the electronics:

I wanted to avoid the Neu cogging thing and find out how my old Hacker would do.

So I put the Hacker modded motor in it (C50 12L but screams) and geared it 10/46. It was fast as hell... easily the fastest thing I saw down the straight all day. I don't know what the deal is with this motor but it's always been fast... but runs hot. I thermalled with it in practice... motor and esc both over 200* :eek:

So it was back to the Neu. Now I didn't put the 1512 back in just as a trial, because last fall when I raced it with that motor and the MM that was still in the car, it would start shutting off (reboot, come back on) after a few minutes for no apparent reason... temps were low, not under big loads, etc.

So I tried the 1515 just to see if the motor was the problem. It did the same thing with the 1515 so something is wrong with the controller.

So I took both the 1515 and the MM out of my truggy and put them in the 8ight. Everything worked pretty well.

I only had it cogg at start up a couple times that were very noticeable... never a problem while racing.

BUT, I did see like two or three times where it did the "brake glitch" thing... where it seems to cog very breifly while running, not from a standstill.

Oh and after the races were over I took a couple laps with a fresh spur gear fix... and I may have done something to the controller. Not sure yet... gotta try it again today. :013:
