Drift Meister
Put a drift meister motor in my sprint 2 drfit, worked fine before. Now it seems as if the power is inconsistant. One minute it will have tons, next minute it can barely move. Bad esc maybe? Any help is appreciated.

RE: Drift Meister
sounds to me like the brushes isnt making constant contact with the comm. advice would be to check the brush springs, and inspect the comm. might just be something small, like a sticky brush, or the comm needs cleaning or a cut

check springs, brushes, comm, windings, and also check where the brush connects to the motor leads, it may be loose or a bad connection.

RE: Drift Meister
I had the same problem with my tt-01. I took the brushes out of the motor, checked voltage coming out of the esc... etc. Turns out it was a bad esc connection at the radio. Found 1 of the terminals was slightly backed out of the connector.
