I found what the problem was. It was a motor problem. The white wire was not soldered very well inside the motor can to the windings and was randomly touching making contact causing the inconsistency. I re soldered it but the cogging problem is still horrible. I tried it on 2s lipo and it wasn't as bad but it still was apparent. I also went ahead and ordered the Xcelorin ESC you all are using and have it hooked up, it does work much better but still will not start moving when the truck is stopped on a fully charged NIMH. You can see it jumping like it's starting to go but it doesn't. I can give it a little tap in the rear with my foot and it takes off and goes and runs just fine. Any ideas. Do you all think I just got a bum motor? I may order another one. I also want to pick up another 2s lipo as well.
How does you guy's setups run on NIMH? Are you all getting the same results I am with it not moving from a stand still??
I hate to tell you but that thing is probably gonna cog terrible on NIMH. Heck I ran the 8750kv version on 2s (which should cog a lot less than your setup) and if the lipo wasn't fully charged or the truck was on any kind of incline it would studder for a second or two before taking off at ridiculous speeds.
