Orion vortex on Mamba problem

[josh_smaxx]

Hey,

Got a new Vortex 6.5 yesterday, fitted it to my B4, hard wired to my mamba ESC, when i pull away it jsut sits there and judders, not going anywhere, yet give it a nudge and its fine, fantastic even.

Any ideas on whats wrong? is it a dodgey motor or dodgey settings on the speedo?

Thanks in advanced

Baisc things but make sure the motor screws arent to long

Check there is nothing inside of the motor that may be binding.

Have you dropped it at anytime???

Other than that try ajusting your speedo settings may have it on to low of an acceleration setting or something

Also what gearing you got it on??????

Motor screws are bout 5mm long, geared to 84/18. Should have said that it only does this occasionaly, well, very often, not everytime i go to set off though.

Sounds like cogging...Try running a smaller pinion and play with timing advance and start power.

snap i run that setup too, but in my losi xxxcr. i often get it cogging, a setup would be great though, is anyone elses louder than normal BL's?
