i just tossed the 4600 tenshock in my ride with MMP and i got some cogging issues. i set the bec to 6.0 from 5.5 it got a lil better and slowed the deadband a bit but is there any other suggestions to help with the cogging? also this truck is heating up my batterys pretty good and some swelling. 5000 50 c cells . maybe i need better battery's to run this beast. down to a 15t and motors coming in near 164. baterry's at 113 and esc roughly same.
thanks alot

Yes. If they are locked down with the set screw, you are basically increasing the rear spring rate and preventing rebound, which will make it loose for sure.

You should go through the whole truck though....it's the only way to be sure. If it's still factory fresh, I'm sure it's not the only thing that the 10 year old kids assembling these thing did wrong They are probably paid via piece work, so speed of assembly trumps "race tuning" when assembling

Russel, the last thing you need is more power.

You are WAY too big on the pinion. Drop down to an 11t or 12t. With that big of a pinion you are drawing massive amps, and I doubt your temps are correct, as I come off mid 160's with a 12t and the same motor. Drawing that many amps will also cause a voltage shortage to your rx and cause the glitching and cogging. The MMP has issues even under optimal conditions and will need a glitch buster at least.

that was the temp after 4 to 5 min bashing. i have a savox servo and a glitch buster installed. so thanks. now i gta shop for 11 to 14 t pinions lol.

That makes sense then, cause on a track you'd prolly been smoking hot, lol. If you run 2s batteries, you could probably run direct power to your rx and bypass the MMP BEC.....I've had the best luck going that route as far as glitching is concerned.

Just so everyone knows, the HD Lightened Outdrives are in stock, just awaiting a location and they will start shipping.

On Wed I posted that I was having problems with the ass end coming around in every turn. Well i figured I'd let you guys know what the problem was-it was the motor had too much drag (even with drag brake off). I changed the castle 2400 to the 3800 and bam she's driving like she is on rails. Made a world of difference and Castle is sending me a new motor and then once I get it I drop my problem motor in the bag and put it in the mail. So good job Castle on the customer service I don't even have to send them my motor til I get the new motor and they are paying the shipping.

Since I'm unsure what "awaiting a location" means in Horizon speak....does this mean they'll be shipping backorders ordered through the Horizon website soon?

Yes, sorry, it means they are trying to find a home in the warehouse for it, thats all.

I have the 2400 and have been considering switching to the 3800. I'm curious as to how you determined your 2400 had too much drag? I have zero drag break as well but from what I understand these motors just have lots of drag due to the magnets. So the 2400 had too much drag and you got Castle to replace it? How do I tell if my motor has too much drag?

runs fine with the right servo.... No busters or bypasses neded. Hitec 985mg is awesome, great specs, good price and nothing neded.
