Lipo 1550HV 3S 11.1V E-Revo VXL Pair
So just arrived today and going to do speed runs tonight...
Question:Last time I ran two stock Traxxas NiMH packs in series but after about 4-5 speed runs it started sputtering and grinding gears on me...I took it apart and loosened the pinion/spur and yes I did change it to the 23T pinion. I am assuming this was thermal shut down right?
After that I reinstalled everything again and ran it gently around the house and everything was okay again after a good 15 min break.
I plan on running my new Lipo 1550HV 3S 11.1V E-Revo VXL Pair in parallel and will be a little more gentlier on it...
