hi, i swapped out my titan, first i put in a cheapo fireball and i noticed that the back wheels were dragging unless i gave it power it didnt roll freely when i had it on the ground and pushed it by hand or do well when i would let off on the throttle" if i had it off the ground just rolling the back tires it was ok "...so i put the titan back in and it was fine , then i tried an orion motor and same problems..can anybody tell me what this is ?? thank you much..

Sounds like a simple case of high motor inertia. when you let off the throttle in an electric R/C, the motor's magnetic field does induce some braking function in the driveline. from what I've seen, the Titans have a relatively low braking effect, where as other, lower turn motors will have a greater effect when it comes to that. the only other thing i can think of is checking gearing when you install the new motor. make sure it's not too tight.

I'd agree, it is the magnets. Remove both motors and spin by hand to check for sure.
