Bare with me as i've asked about this on FB and at rctech.
Here is my Original post, Some of you may have seen it.
Having a bit of a technical issue. I was at practice the other day, coming off of a jump and entering the straight. My cars wheels went full right, and then lost all power.
Pulled it off the track, and powered it back on, I noticed my motor fan was not running. Replaced it (the fan), which is when i noticed the fan would only run intermittently.
Messing with it more, I noticed if my fan was running, and i manually moved my spur gear to the point of turning the motors rotor, it would kill the fan.
Convinced i had a bad motor, I replaced it. The issue continues. I'm assuming now it's an ESC problem (HW v3.1)
Just curious if anyone has encountered anything like this?
I guess I have it narrowed down to the ESC, just don't want to buy one if I don't have to.
Anyhow, what's essentially happening, is when i power my car, the fan spins, but once i touch the throttle, it stops running. It's thought and perhaps confirmed, that the magnets from my motor are causing the fan to quit running.
I have a jConcepts CF center brace on order, and am currently running the Tekno one. The jConcepts, from my understanding pulls the fan back from the motor, so I'll see if that fixes the issue.
What I didn't include, in my original post, when my car lost power, it smelt like something might have burnt up. Could it be possible the Caps on my Esc let go? I have almost convinced myself that the issue is brand new, and happened at the said power loss. I've been running the same setup since January.
I was originally running a Fantom motor and had no heat issues, now with my replacement my motor leads were close to 180* after a race.
Need opinions/help on what's going on here, other eb410 drivers don't have this issue.
