I just built a 9.6V IB-1400 pack for my Vendetta, which has a Mamba 25 controller and Air Power 4700 brushless motor combination. I used Dean's Ultras throughout. When I hook the thing up, it runs fine for about 30 seconds, then starts cogging really badly, and won't deliver any power to the wheels after that. My setting on voltage cutoff is "no cutoff", and the starting power is "high". Any suggestions as to what could be going on?? Thanks!!

Do you have the Castlelink? If not Id reccomend you get that and update the firmware. That is the reason why I would choose the Quark over the mamba in larger cars as you wont have that cogging issue.

Thanks Inverted. I'll check into this. I changed the start power to "low", and it no longer has the issue. I also dialed down the motor timing to "normal", and it's just fine. Well, insane, but fine. Upon getting this "fixed", I then proceeded to full throttle it down the street at about 50 mph, hit a small twig, and did a 40 ft rolling cartwheel. Front left tire came off- the cheap plastic wheel hex had sheared right off!!

As a result, alloy wheel hexes and shock bushings are now on the way. Here we go!!!

Thanks
