You may have seen me touting the brushless motor/esc Mamba packages from Castle Creations over the past several months in some of the 1/18th threads.
I’ve been having a few issues with what I though was "cogging". My Mini T would stutter sometimes at the start from a dead stop. I had been chalking it up to cogging, stuttering or on-off on-off as it was explained to me. I was informed that the Mamba packages were designed not to do that. In fact Stuttering or grinding from a stop is an indication of something wrong with the motor and/or the esc providing that you are using good connectors, batteries etc.
Now what you also need to know is that this motor/esc package was ordered through Hobby Town from Castle Creations back in December 2004.
After some speed runs up and down my court over the weekend and signs the above mentioned were still present after all of the power settings were tested, I sent an email to Castle Creations. My email consisted of a request for a cogging issue fix.
The response was quick with a request for detailed information on the type of car, batteries, motor/esc, connectors and a detailed explanation of the symptoms.
The next response was as quick;
“Stuttering and/or grinding on a Mamba system are not normal” and “New ESC on it's way
”
A favor was done for me today by Castle Creations for a new esc for my 6800 KV motor! Above and beyond what one would expect.
Thanks Shawn!
