What type of surface are you running on, and what is your set-up??

Does everyone else glue their clicker to the pully like I did? ;) How much weight are people putting in the nose? I could use low speed rotation, heck on our clay track I can't even get it to rotate by hitting the brakes, mid to high speed steering is pretty good though. Running mostly kit setup, white springs all around, mid on tower, out on lower for shocks, and using the forward hole in the rack. I'm considering trying stiffer rear springs, maybe shorter rear link as well.

usually when a glitch capacitor or an external BEC is being used to cure the issue, the internal BEC can't keep up with the demands being placed on it by the servo from what I have seen.

with the vehicle up on a stand, giving it throttle and moving the steering rapidly, you can at times see it cut out if it is an issue. This is what I saw when I put my trusty MMP into my sc10 4x4 before going all speed passion. Before, no issues with it in 4S 1/8 buggy usage, drop it into 2S usage and had a problem.

However, I did notice this on towerhobbies description when I was looking to see what your BEC is rated at:



Curious if you are having issues related to this?

I will send it in again and try to convince them, maybe a video of it not working.
I currently have an LRP X12 motor that never worked properly out of the box as well as my 6 SXX's that have been fixed/upgraded. Friggin NAZI f#Cks.
End Rant.

Ya, funny story there too... 2 of the SXX's I sent in for trade in somehow became upgrades.
I have 1 flow and its fine so far.

kevin do you set the endpoints on your servo? if not you could be over stressing the servo, causing excessive amp draw from the bec.

I think these 550 motors are just too much for ESC's. The Flow is the only one ive not had problems with so far.

has anyone dropped the servo to the lower chassis? if so what did you feel?

that may be true, ive been running a 540 viper motor and esc. with no problem. also baan running a shorty. so far power is not a problem. one other question. what bullet plugs do you use, ive had problems in the past that the expanded metal ones over time wear out. so ive switched to the solid plugs with great results!

on another note when are you racing tacoma again? missed you at the showdown!
