b4 nimh stutter
Hey, for some reason, when i use my GP3300 cells, I can't accelerate! the care stutters really bad! even if im standing 5 ft away! To make things worse, then i'm using old 1700 nicd's the prob. goes away! BTW i've noticed this prob. with 2 diff. packs, and 2 diff. motors......

First....I'd check for a crappy solder joint on your packs.....If you're running stick packs, I'd tear them apart and re-build them as side-by-side packs. Then check your motors for wear. Next....it could be your crystals...you'd be suprised at how fragile they really are!! Also try popping open your reciever, blowing any dirt and crud out of it and checking your antenna wire for frays.

well, the packs are side by side, no joint issue there, and the motors are new, the receiver's clean, never had any problems until i got these 3300s. it's really weird, with the car off the ground, no glitches, with it on the ground, it stutters off and on when i hit the throttle. at what point are transmitter batteries considered "dead"?- they're at 10.8v now.

I would do the following:
1. Make sure you have capacitors on your motors or make sure the ones already installed are working
2. Test the battery packs on another vehicle to see if it happens again.
3. Check your ESC settings.
4. Check your motor connection.

Problem solved
Hey, thanks for all the help guys, this forum rocks! well, turns out my side by side packs had a power wire too close to the antenna, which wasnt making the receiver happy. makes sense because the stick pack's wires come out the end and not out the side. So i flipped the pack over and no more glitching! rookie mistake i know, but these are my first side by side packs!
