Car losing and gaining power
Hi guys just after some help if possible.
my 1/10 electric buggy when running on 3s Lipo loses power by 15-20 % approx then picks up again for a bit , then drops off again in short intervals. I can’t work out what is the problem. I’ve tried my 2s and same thing . This is once they are “supposedly” fully charged. However, I’m wondering if it could be my charger as it now doesn’t work and when it was it was taking 3 hours to charge my 3s 2500mah on 2amps . Could it be that they aren’t getting balanced charged properly which is causing loss in power or could it be an esc or motor problem. If it was though I’m thinking it wouldn’t be picking back up again. Any help would be greatly appreciated .

Really hard to say for sure, but I've had a similar problem once and it turned out to be a bad motor, I had previously overheated it and it never ran properly until I swapped out a known good motor.
