Hello,
I'm running a RTR SCX10 with the following modifications:
QUICRUN WP 1080 brushed ESC
RC4WD 55T motor
GT3C hacked remote for 6CH
The battery is a new Turnigy 5000mAh 2S 20C Lipo
The servo is a cheap chinese 20kg one which I'm pleased with for now.
The wheels are aluminium with lead weights added, 1.9 RC4WD super swampers - they weigh close to 1.7 pounds.
My truck is close to 13 pounds in weight and I think that is the main problem![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
All the gears/pinions are the stock ones that came with the truck.
My problem is that is feels like it doesn't have enough torque/power to go over obstacles and I don't know what to do...
With the 55T motor I don't have any wheel spin when trying to get over rocks for example. I push the throttle and nothing happens, it just sits there, trying to move the wheels for half of inch.
It there a problem with the ESC configuration, GT3C configuration, motor quality or battery?
When the truck was 40% lighter, I ran a RC4WD 45T motor with the stock ae5 esc and it ran great.
Should I buy a different more quality motor? If so, which motor should I get?
Thanks for the help!!!
