Hi guys,
I have a Stampede 4x4 VXL which i am currently running on 3S.
I currently have Proline Mashers on, with Fastrax Steel CVD’s and a few RPM parts ie A-Arms, Shock caps etc
Now i am currently setup on stock gearing and have realised that the Velineon Motor runs very hot. (Can touch the motor for literally a few seconds). I have now tried the optional 17T pinion gear and after bashing on concrete surface the ESC tripped into thermal protection mode within 5mins.
I have read online people saying that the Stampede shouldn’t be ran on 3S but clearly the Pede is capable of running this lipo (as stated on the box & esc)
Has anyone else experienced this issue with their Stampede 4x4 VXL & what have you done to rectify the overheating of the motor?
I don’t wish to run 2S as this MT states it can run 3S.
Also, has anyone tried like a 9T pinion?
Thanks in advance.
