yes its up against it. it acts like the spur will turn about half a revolution then kick back a quarter revolution but it will get the truck goin and does stop when it goes it only does it maybe 5 or 6 time and stops as long as i am goin it dont do it just from a dead stop it might be gettin to much traction and the motor or battery dont got enough to turn the tires any ideas will help

the novak hv maxx has to have two packs to even turn it on i dont understand it much myself. from my understanding of this motor it has to have 14.4 volts to operate properly

ok..looked up your system.
Does it do it just when you punch the throttle from a dead stop or does it happen if you gently easy into the throttle from a dead stop?

if your packs are at the end of their usable life that might be your issue. Got a buddy you could borrow a couple packs from and test it?

Is that system rated for 2 3s lipo packs? That's 22.2 volts
#12
I believe your system is only rated to 2-2s packs
#13

If it's only rated for a pair of 2s packs running 2 3s packs will kill it for sure.
IMO a pair of good 2s packs would give you more power than you've ever had with NIMH.
