Default RE: Steering question about Vortex.


ORIGINAL: tolofrhr

Quick question about the steering. Has anyone noticed that the vehicle seems to really slow down when turning? It seems like the truck binds up when making turns. I'm using the stock electronics except for a Tower Hobbies steering servo. The stock one was EXTREMELY slow. It just seems kind of odd the way it does. Maybe it's just me or just a trait of the truck.[8D]
I believe he is talking about the electric one.

If in fact you are talking about the electric one, then the reason it slows down is because the whole car works off that one battery that you are using. If you are using NIMH battery packs then that is normal depending on the Milli amps of the battery. If you are using anything less than 2200mah battery than you will get approximately 10 to 15 minutes of run time with noticeable lag when you are steering. My suggestion if you REALLY REALLY want to enjoy hobby grade electric Upgrade to a 3300mah or better battery or go lipo.
