unbelievably slow

im confused by how fast my friends car goes with awd and stage 2 10 tooth, but when i use the same motor with rwd, its like freaking snail compared to rabbit, help me out plz im frustrated.

[Jizzle]

well that sounds very wierd?? How old is your motor?

[ferrarip4.5]

no i took the motor off his car and put it on mine

[Jizzle]

o ok i see now uhhh lol i have no idea

[Skyline5654]

Nothing is rubbing is it? Well nothing is rubbing that is not supposed too

[ferrarip4.5]

i dont see anything, i even took everything apart and put it back together, took off the bearings and put on stock ones too, didnt work

[Jizzle]

humm sounds like youare sum how not gettin enough battery power what batteries are u usen and if u are usen RS rechargables,how long have u had them?

[ferrarip4.5]

i use energizer 900mah for id say less than 4 month

[Jizzle]

OK well its offical lol
I have no clue srry dude.

[ferrarip4.5]

o darn this is not good...

is there a possibility that not all of the batts power goes through the board? some was traped somehow....

[ledhedgn]

does he have an upgraded fet?

[j_meneskie]

is he using the same kind of batteries, are the FETs upgraded on his, and are his batteries newer if you are both using triple a batteries?

[joe913]

are you talking about off the line or top speed? AWD should be faster off the line and RWD should have the edge on the top end. Either way if you've exhausted all your mechanical options maybe it's an electrical problem...just my 2 cents! (0.0000343 cents after adjusted for inflation

[ferrarip4.5]

no hes electronic is all stock, hes using newer batts than me but i dont think they are as good as energizer.

off the line hes car is insane, in a 20ft race he would finish when im only half way, using the drift kit tires the stage 2 10 tooth can spin that thing up no problem, when the motors on my car it cant even spin the rwd.

[Numbchux]

sounds like your batteries. just to be sure, use his batteries in your car...

[ferrarip4.5]

good idea, but do you think my batts are done? cause they were fresh when i used them.

[homestar]

That's odd. An awd should be slower than a rwd. Maybe the batts aren't working, or the gears aren't meshed. Maybe the motor isn't connected well?

[superinfinity]

What about the motor spacer thingy under the motor. That makes the gears mesh badly.

[ferrarip4.5]

what spacer?

that's only on the evo series ones...

although, be sure you've got the right pinion gear on there....they are different sizes to match the different sized gears on the motor.
