I had a strange thing happen this weekend while running stock on asphalt.
I have a Tekin RS and 17.5 Redline motor geared to 5.6 FDR. 5 deg. on the motor, 40 deg. boost and 10 turbo after .5 sec. (tried both ramp 1 and 2)
I would run the car and could see and feel the turbo kick in at about mid straight as I wanted but after 3 laps the turbo was no longer evident as if I forgot to shift into overdrive! (Used up the turbo on the warm up an none for the race) The motor temps were 110-120 no lights on the RS and would occur every time.
I am using a hard case "china special" 5000 2s 35c lipo and only using about 1200ma per race then recharged before going out again.
Has anyone had this happen? Do you think it's the battery just not putting out an adequate amp rate or? It doesn't seem like I am using anywhere near the max power but I'm not sure what kind of amperage a 17.5 will pull when running in turbo.
It' the pits not having that kick wonce you get used to it
