I had one in my truck. I can't say I've been out motored on the 1/10 track I run on. It's hard packed dirt with light dust/loam. Probably to much for me... I've never ran it on a 1/8 size track though.
Only complaint I have is it doesn't always turn on. Fan comes on but no go. Anyone else have this issue? Cycle off and on a couple times and it starts up.
Mine did the same thing for a bit but hasn't in a while. However got to run on 1/8 track today and problems got worse.550 4.5 ballistic havoc sc pro geared 60/13 runs 2 to 4 laps then loses all brake and throttle. Esc gives error green and blue lights flashing(locked rotor detection) although rotor is not locked. No binding in drive train. Tried different motor with diff harness same problem. Tried new cpu board in esc same problem. Motor and esc only reached 100deg. Mostly on the straight. Tried less gear still trips esc.waiting for response from novak Monday as to my next step.
Craigmba thanks for the tip about boiling wheels. I've been baking mine but it smoke a little and stinks ill give boiling a shot.
