The new extreme stock one seemed fine last week, but tonight at the start of my final it cost me pole down to fifth place because of the delay! 
Now all esc's have had more than one version of firmware on them which hasn't fixed them. Currently the newest mod firmware's (as of a couple of weeks ago anyway) on all three esc's.
My radio gear's recently changed from a Futaba 3GR to a 3VCS (just to go 2.4) and that's made no difference.
I generally use Speedpassion V3 motors (7.5 and 8.5), but am currently using a Losi Xcelorin 8.5
Sensor wires have been changed too.
Any ideas, and does it happen to anybody elses??!  |
I haven't experienced not moving after driving, or a delay off the start line, but when first switched on, I have experienced the pause you mention. I have also come to a complete stand still sometimes during a race where reverse kicks in when you brake quickly (twice) diving on to the inside line. I understand why reverse try's to kick in, and I'm positive that problem would go away if I run forward only, but for club racing, reverse is useful. However, I would have thought the ESC would not reverse unless all wheels and therefore motor were sensed as stationary (I'm sure even the early GTB's had this interlock type arrangement)
Q) Are you definitely awake, and listening for the beep?
As for you going from pole to fifth Mike, I see nothing unusual apart from you being on pole in the first place.
(on a more serious note, the Durango is obviously performing well!)
