my mm and mmm problem

[BrianG]

I get a similar thing that happens to my Slash. Currently running 7 GP3300 cells on the MM/5700 motor combo, geared stock. MM settings are: low start power, 60% punch control, 20% drag brake, lowest timing, reverse lockout, no LVC, and throttle/brake are at default (I use the expo settings on the radio). Radio is Spektrum DX3r.

Granted, I know the 5700 is a very poor choice, but it's the only extra motor I had lying around. Temps after a run are quite hot on the motor, and ESC is warmer than I like.

What happens to me is: I gently pull the trigger. The truck starts to move, but then it acts like it goes by itself for a second or two no matter what the trigger is set to. Not a big deal as I soon plan to run 4s on a MedUsa 50 series motor (around 2500kv).
