Hoping someone could help me with a very unusual problem.

After installing a new 6.5t motor the other night (indoor carpet) I found that I had minimal braking power. I mean that near the end of the straight away after applying full brakes it would take about about 3-5 meters (9-15ft) to slow down enough to turn the corner. (had a few run-ins with the wall that night)

I have completed the following troubleshooting but still have the same problem.

- Re calibrated esc multiple times
- Reset all data on my TX then re calibrated esc
- Turned brakes EXP up to max
- Replaced lrp fwt esc with brand new novak gt3 esc
- Replaced motor with 8.5t used only a few times
- Replaced sensor cable with new cable
- Tested my TX with my B44.2 which has exact same esc and motor...brakes are LEATHAL as expected.

And finally clutching at straws..

- Tightened slipper all the way
- Loosened slipper all the way

After doing all this I still have very minimal brakes and its driving me crazy. Im about to pull apart my diff as a last resort but I cant imagine that has anything to do with braking power..

Anyway I thought i'd just ask everyone for some advice in in case im missing something obvious.

Thanks v much for your help
By EXP do you mean exponential? Have you tried it with that turned back to 0? Jacked up expo can create some weird responses, or lack of (depending on radio brand). If you have great power I doubt it's the rotor.
