Always great service, prices and quick shipping to the UK. I love shopping here.
Start with conservative pinion sizes to avoid overloading the ESC and motor. Adjust one tooth at a time and monitor motor temperature during tests.
Yes, its torque helps traction on low-grip surfaces such as carpet, but fine tuning of throttle and diffs will improve lap consistency.
Perform several light runs under moderate load and check temperature and brush seating. Gradually increase run length and load as the brushes bed in.
A commutator cleaning brush and a quality motor brush set, like ITEM 53486 and ITEM 53581, are the most practical tools to maintain consistent output.
