Losi are meant to be bringing out a heat sink sometime this month I think

If the wires aren't getting hot, you aren't losing any power by using them. I'm using a typical 1/10 scale set up with Deans connectors and stock esc wiring and I don't have any problems.

Any idea of where the loss of power could be coming from"?

What is the settings on the ESC? Set the Motor Timing to Lowest '0' (D-Wind motors run better on low timing). Put Start Power to 'Low'. I have my Punch Control at 40% and don't run a drag brake

I would set the punch control to "0"

hy,

i have a eight buggy with the losi brushless kit with the new xcelorin controless and neu 1515/2d/f
i use a zippy 4s 5000mA and a 16 pinion

i have a problem : there is a little cogging when i push a little the throttle

i set the timing at the lowest and the initial accleration high but the problems remains...

where is the problem

sorry for my english but i m french ...

thx so much for the future answers .

If you have a part # for the Integy that would be great!

You may want to reduce the size of the pinion gear. Smaller pinion gears will usually reduce cogging. Also, I have noticed that if you adjust the throttle trim on the transmitter, you can reduce some cogging. Basically, increase forward throttle trim until the motor starts to move then back it off a small amount.

Yeah, I have basically the same problem, but it's hardly noticeable. Once the race starts, I never deal with it unless the car comes to a complete stop, or gets stuck against something. Smaller pinions do help, but the fact that it's a sensorless system is why we see it at all. I was looking through Losi's Site, and it appears as if they plan to release a sensored 8th scale system.

OK Thx i will try the 2 solutions

but with the 16 teeth pinions the buggy does wheeling on street so with a 15th it will be worth no ?

While gearing down may seem to make wheelies worse, it is usually the opposite. Electric motors make the most torque at zero rpm (except sensorless) so when you go to a smaller pinion the motor "gets past" its highest peak torque faster.

very good point man, another way of wording it, the higher the gearing you have the fast the wheels spin sooner, causing in more wheelies, electric motors really make as much torque as you ask them to, the fast is they just overheat if not efficiently running ie. overgeared

here are my settings



i put a 15 teeth it seems to be better

is a 14 teeth better for a 1515 2d in 4s ??

i try with a losi battery and it does the same thing...

the timing is correct for a 1515 o maybe the lowest is better

Yeah, I perfer to drive my buggy on all 4 wheels and not just the rear which is why I have the punch control set at 40%

If the Initial Acceleration on the Losi ESC the same as the Start Power on the MMM then set it to low
