Renji1990 Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Bought an FTX apache for a basher but electronics seem bad .. randomly cuts out and after about 15 to 20 secs of driving it hitting 100c.. (Infrared Therometer ) had issues with the slipper now sorted had seized bearings out of the box ...CML did not care so am i right in saying its a broken motor and if so what would be a good upgrade ?? and good upgrade for wheels and tires for dirt?? i have a rough idea but only normally have crawlers . Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 I would forget about wheels and tyres for short term, you say some bearings were bad from new, so take motor out and make sure the chassis is free running, nothing binding, my mrs has an outlaw with a chinese 60amp esc and brushless motor in it and its been stunning for several years, so if your chassis is free running you might be looking at replacing the motor/esc and while at it a better servo, the Apache looks nice so stick with it and get it right 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
