12 turn limit esc problems

Post by lebowski770 »

Hello, I have a 12-turn limit yokomo esc when using a trinity 12-turn motor I notice the the car will putter at top speeds for the first 2 minutes of a battery on a full charge, but after those first 2-minutes it drives fine. Am I too close to the turn limit?

Possibly if it's a mod motor, but it could be other things causing this. Check the brushes - clean them with a comm stick and make sure you have a proper hood alignment to the motor comm. If they are misaligned, you will see uneven wear on the brushes. If the motor is running too hot, the bushes will be a purplish color and you'll have to pinion down. Hope this helps some.
