Hey guys, me again, i'm the fella with the brande new Earthquake 8e and have blown 3 sets of both front and rear diffs. After making my last post, Redcat sent me two newly shimmed diffs to put in the Quake 8e. It's been sitting on the shelf begging to be used.......ok so put in the new diffs today and went fir a test drive......

Here's the problem now......It lasted about 3 mins, then it act like it was running off of one battery, actually right away i noticed that it would wheelie. After about 2 mins it starts getting slower, and slower, and if you hold the throttle wide open it turns off, just the motor, the steering and the esc fan are still on, but no throttle. Then wait for like 10 secs, then the throttle will work, lots of power for about 30 secs, then starts to drop off again, until it quits.... oh ya, and the right battrery was very hot compared to the left battery, very hot. Has anyone had the stock batteries crap out with very little use??

Anybody with any ideas??? the battreries are stock, fully charged and balanced, they are also damaged free on the outside, and have barely been used,upon start up the esc counts 4 batteries.....

See, still can't get even 5 mins on THIS THING without something breaking, dying, and falling off.................................brand new Earthquake still</p>
