My problem seemed like the batteries voltage was dropping so far it reset the rx (i could see the rx light go off and watch it reset), but i tried all kinds of high powered lipos and stuff too, the a123 were just the standard setup, and it happened with the motor not connected to anything as well - not even a pinion on it, I'm pretty sure A123 cells are up to spinning an unloaded motor without dropping below 1V/cell lol... I can't figure out what it is, and havent to this day. I've used the exact same setup in other cars without problem, it is really really baffling. Like I know there is something I'm not thinking of, and its really frustrating lol.. oh well.

A few questions:
- Were you using a BEC or Rx pack?
- Were the rx pins dirty? Or, they may have a cold solder joint and making/breaking contact.
- Is the antenna sound? I had a Spektrum antenna that was flaky and had odd stuff happen until I replaced it. Was a PITA to solder though because of some coating on the PCB.

I tried an external and the internal BEC, and 4 different receivers. I don't own an Rx pack but I'm thinking I'll build something and try it soon. I'd hate to have to run an Rx pack though, and I still can't believe 4s1p drop that much with zero load... it actually seemed to glitch more when I was testing it unloaded, but it could just be my frustration imagining things lol... meh more testing when I have time.. I'll probably make some thread about it if I ever succesfully figure it out haha

Well my V3 should be here by monday. but i Think I eliminated the glitching problem
Spektrum Rx- I got from a trade for a charger, and some miscelaneous stuff
Module- I payed 60 Bucks for. So now im in the 2.4ghz club and I like it soo far.


And I just got done shortening the motor leads down to 4 inches. Esc will be mounted behind the motor on the chassis.

What is your gearing?

How does the Neu-Castle compare to the same Neu motor (performace-wise)?

Sorry for the questions, if they've already been answered in earlier posts but I am getting dizzy going through the previous ten pages of posts.

I am having some heat issues with mine. Geared for 38 in an e-revo I am seeing 170+ on the motor. It has lots of power though!

Update:

All slotted rotor-motors(say that 5 times fast) Will be hard to turn by hand.

The maximum Shaft play is approximately 1-2mm

The both run great. the 2200 is in my Matrix truggy on 4s, and the 2650 is in Eovnu87435ds's hyper 7 on 4s.. pretty sure neither has seen over 140 degrees
