my x-mod dies after 5 mins of raceing

[fwuh123]

i installed a stage 2 engine on my x mod ...... after 5 -10 mins of racing it it dies and just rolls around very slowly... i tried all the engines and it does the same thing with all of them... i always use fresh batteries too ... the thing is when i hold my car in my hand and lift it off of the ground it runs hard with power in the wheels and everthing... any suggestions on what i should do ...? Thanks

Are they rechargeble batteries? If so then you might have damaged there memeory cells

Cell drain by electronic (amperage) overload due to too many devices (lights) on the food chain or heavy weight load, rubbing, running uphill, etc.

depending on where youv'e been running it, it might have hair or thread caught in the axles, that can put a lot of strain on the motor and causes the batts to run out quicker :nod: :uzi: :shaking:

definitely check for hair wrapped around the axles. i run mine on concrete, but it still seems to pick up hair wrapped around the axle from time to time

Get the li on kit and if you cant buy stuff online go to walmart and for 30 bucks you can buy 15 miniute rechargables the rayovac ic3's

If theyre alkalines, theyre useless on a r/c car. Use some sort of rechargeable battery.Otherwise, the board could be overheating.
