MMM v3 cogging problems.
 

I got back from my track and i guess this is what its doing i didnt think of cogging before but this is my first electric.
My wheels just start twitching back and forth and the car cogs a couple of feet and stops then it does it again.
Just like this.

(that isnt my car just an example.)
But i didnt know cogging affected the steering also.
Do i have to send the esc back or is this just a programming problem with the v3

Does the motor spin when its disconnected from the drivetrain?

vid doesn't work

RE: MMM v3 cogging problems.
 

I would check to make sure you don't have a battery issue (just to rule it out), by trying a back up battery.

RE: MMM v3 cogging problems.
 

Vid should work now.
I dont have a back up battery maybe i should try it on 2s and not 4s

Got another radio system or something to test this one with?

RE: MMM v3 cogging problems.
 

Looks too me like something glitching in the radio system , there doesnt seem too be much cogging going on too me ....

RE: MMM v3 cogging problems.
 

Its not the radio system.
I tried my other receiver that works in my other truck and it did the same thing.
I guess its not cogging sense cogging is only with the motor.
With this i drive it for a couple of minutes and then the whole car wont move and then it coggs for a couple feet and the steering goes wack like that in the vid and then its normal again for another couple of minutes before it does it again.

I would call up castle, maybe you got a dud ESC or a bad motor? No e-mail, phone them directly.
Or maybe your starting power is set too high, beyond what your batteries will handle?

RE: MMM v3 cogging problems.
 

Are you using 2.4 ghz?

The radio would work in another truck because the other truck isn't using the MMM system is it?

RE: MMM v3 cogging problems.
 

You could also try upgrading to better connectors such as power polls.

I would call castle too.

But just for fun, try pulling the red wire from the ESC-RX plug. That will disable the BEC meaning your receiver and servo are unpowered. To power them try a receiver pack like you run on your nitro. If it runs fine like that your BEC has issues.
