batteries
my batteries keep dying in the middle of races i am wondering if it is my pinion or my batts
thanks dan |
what batteries you running & what gear?
|
i have 4200 batts and i 16 tooth spur and a 6.5 motor
|
how do you charge them also? is the transmission on the car free or stiff?
|
i put then on a cycle charger and diss charge
|
and yes the diff is free
|
how old are the 4200's?
|
they are not very old
|
what amp's you charging at? or what cutoff is your esc set at?
|
hard to say really. I run my d4 with a 4.5 on a 16 tooth and it will do 5 mins on some older 3300 cells. Is you motor getting hot? You could try a bigger pinion i guess like an 18 but not sure if that would help.
|
i charge them at 3 amps and i dont know what the cut off point is
|
what charger do you use? does it tell you how many milliamps are going into the cells? Or how long do they take to charge at 3A?
|
is the entire transmission free, not just diffs? take off the pinion and roll the car along the floor, it should run along happily, not stop abruptly.
|
i would try 4.2amp
and deffo try to find the cut off point as it may be cutting out on you hence its stopping half way through what esc you running? |
i use a cml charger it is like the venom charger . it take just over a hour to charger the batts
|
the cells should be taking over 3000mah then, which is enough for a 5 min race easy. does the motor or speedo get really hot during a run? do you mesh your gears properly and not too tight?
|
Does it do this on more than one pack of cells ? You could have a bad pack or bad cell within the pack ?
|
ok then i will try thank you very much
|
yes it does do it on more than one set of batts
|
Id try a diffrent charger for starter's more like a protrak i have for sale (http://www.oople.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24597)
As your cells may dump due to lack of charge in them? |
