So after resaucing it still doesn't go back to the lap times you had when the charge was fresh? Or do you just get the faster lap times for another 6-8 laps and then it falls off again?

the power is still off....it is just slower...maybe it is the battery or maybe it is to hooked up...maybe i have the gearing wrong..

what could be wrong if the power goes back to normal for another 6 to 8 laps

what motor? what size track?
it seems to me that the roll out might be wrong, i'm under the impression that wgt like somewhere between 65-75mm roll out. you may be overgeared and overheating the motor???

obi wun, if it is straight line speed that is slower after a few rounds then set your throttle epa on 90% recalibrate with the RS(pro) and then set your throttle epa to 100% again. ( i gues you made sure you didn't havee a hot motor?)

That will cure the problem of losing speed after a few minutes. If the laps are on the whole slower and not only straight line speed then it should be the tires. You still didn't mention what tires you are using. Some tires have only grip for a few minutes and then it goes away wich in turn means your laps are slower then before.

If he was overgeared, and overheating the motor, wouldn't it thermel? In most cases when the motor thermels, it's dead on the track. It almost sounds like he's tapping out the battery, or a bad charger that's only charging the battery half way.

that may be but i thought i seen in another post of his that the track is 70' long or something and i would think he'd want to be on the lower end of rollout. 82mm seems like it would need a big track???

Foxxrocket

An 82mm rollout is normal for a 17.5 motor. And I'm only guessing here. I don't know what motor he's running.

running a duo 2..on a 70 x30 track...o timing in motor...

duo 2 what, 17.5, 13.5, et...?

Foxxrocket

So, it is a 17.5?

13.5 motor

Foxxrocket

Ok, then you are overgeared. Try a 73mm or 66mm rollout. The car will not be as fast, but at least you won't be straning the motor, or the battery.

i went to a 71 rollout...and still had the same problem...should i go lower...if i do not have speed how can i win...

did you setup the radio like was mentioned in the other thread? setup on 90 and then adjust radio to 100. is there a reason your setting up at 135 and running at 150?
