Default RE: VXL?!!!

the VXL system stock is really quite crap.
yeah so what if the cogging is bad at low speed.
the problem is that it also coggs sometimes on acceleration from a slow speed.
so if you have to slow down for a corner (i race so i know how much of a pain it is) and the ntry to accelerate out of it it just stops altogether as if the ESC sences that the motor isnt turning then it'll stop providing power to it untill you pump the trigger.

the best way around this problem is to run a sencered motor with it, that'll get rid of your cogging problem.

and then there's the LVC...what a POS!!
you get a lipo and punch the throttle, the voltage drops just a little and BAM! it's in half power mode[:@][:@][:@]
sometimes when going very slow with my 3s 8000mah lipo it'll go to total couoff from hte LCV mode[:@]

so if you HAVE to run the velineon ESC and race with it you need:
novak LVC if running lipo's
and a sencored-brushless or brushed motor.


and another thing...my velineon ESC coggs more and more as it warms up!, not too warm and i have the fan but it's sooo damn anoying!
