RE: gearing question
It is only NIMH 5000AH .When i purchased it i was like it is gonna be enough, but never enough.When i pick up the car the wheels are spinnig much faster i can see the tires are spins bigger much bigger then the 23pinion .With the 17 pinion they not even get any bigger.

RE: gearing question
i Have no idea how to calculate the ratio .The truck came with 17 pinion and 64 spur 48p .40 miles per hour.Right now it is 26.I put the bigger pinion in it but nothing changed .Motor is a bit warmer , i have fan on it and heatsink.

gearing question
Hi!I have a redcat volcano purchased as brushed ver.now added a xerun 60 A ESC and a Xerun 13.5t 2500 kv sensored motor .The gears are 48p 17/64 .Runs pretty cool .Can i make it faster change the gear ?Do i have to change both gears or is it enough to put on a bigger pinion, or smaller spur?

RE: volcano out of control electric brushe
Here i am again!Need more help please .I have sent the car to redcat. 3 weeks passed by .When it was on the way back they sent me e-mail what they fixed .Replaced radio system for 2.4 ghz and replaced servo.Guy said he could not get my am system work with the car ,weird .received car back ,put fresh batteries in it and go .It did go everywhere could not control only the throttle ,i could not control the steering.I was like i can not believe they did not fixed it.Started wit bind radio and still nothing just goes everywhere.I was messing with it about an hour now it stopped and just blinking ESC and does nothing.Seems like the radio receiver not working.Called redcat they said send it to them for repair.I was like ARE YOU KIDDING it just came back,how many times i have to send it to get repaired finally ?I asked them to send me a radio receiver what is like retail 19 bucks .He said no!Tried to bind radio but the light will not come on.Power goes in to the receiver from ESC but none of the other 2 channels pin has power on it .Could the receiver die??There is a little button on this receiver i do not know what it do. http://www.nitrorcx.com/fs-gtr3c-receiver.html this receiver seems like the same i do not know if this would work with the radio.what should i do?

RE: volcano out of control electric brushe
I think it is the servo too but make no sense ,It oly act wierd when the servo moves ,even when i lift the front and no weight on front tires so the servo work easy seems no problem but as soon it has some friction akt stupid .I suspect the radio receiver bad or the servo .

RE: volcano out of control electric brushe
I have made a video how it acts youtu.be/E6sY7_0oTzc ,but since than it is even wors .Start backing up like crazy and stop ,ESC blinking and nothing,i have to power off again and restart.I have noticed when i force the servo any direction it start to act like crazy ,so i think something related to servo.
