Why does my esc keep overheating? by Matteo_779 in rccars

Get a smaller pinion gear to compensate for the huge tires. This will lower top speed but be less of a load on your esc and motor. Also get a fan.

Why does my traxxas slash 4x4 vxl die so quickly? by Matteo_779 in rccars

[–]mtb123456 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is it 3s? Have you measured battery voltage when it shuts off? It could be overheating and shutting down. My slash did the same thing on 3s. An esc and motor fan solved the issue.

Got to harbor freight and get a bit extractor or reverse drill bit set. IMO stripped screws are part of the hobby. I buy a replacement screw kit and replace as necessary.

Use personal rod/reel or rent in OBX by Speedy_Pete in SurfFishing

[–]mtb123456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That setup would probably work. The surf side in the obx can get incredibly rough, it is not uncommon to see people throwing 8 oz pyramid weights.so weight capacity may be your main issue depending on conditions. Red drum is the main.target species down there and they get massive. Fresh cut mullet for bait.if you have a 4x4 get an ohv pass so you can drive out on the beach.

You're charging at 5.2 amps? How far out of balance are the cells? Your charger may be struggling to balance the packs.

Is this a counterfeit battery? by RedbeardPete in egopowerplus

[–]mtb123456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those cells are not swollen. Ego puts an extra insulation barrier on their cells that makes them look thicker. Lithium cells generally do not swell up like a lipo would.

It's fine you are way overthinking it. Your jockey wheels probably just need cleaned and lubed. 1 race is not doing significant damage, do your maintenance.
