OK, I have recently upgraded my 2wd 1:10 ruckus with a Mamba Max Pro ESC and a Traxxas Velineon brushless motor (the ESC was purchased used and said to be in good condition and the motor was given to me by a co-worker that killed the Traxxas ESC and just bought a whole new hobbywing setup).
Anyway, the ESC came with a brand new external BEC. Since I haven't upgraded the steering servo yet I figured I wouldn't need to use the BEC. I have no idea if this is correct.
The problem, some times while bashing the car stutters when I pull full throttle. It is like the Receiver has lost connection to the Transmitter (the steering goes out and the car acts like there is no throttle input) for a second and then it kicks back in.
Would this most likely be the receiver/transmitter, or the ESC? I was reading things about the Mamba max esc's being suspect with Spektrum receivers (I guess noise causes issues) but I don't think this would kill the steering? Could the ESC be pulling so much power that it just drains the entire system for a second?
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I guess I could pull the brand new receiver from my son's car and see if that stops the issue?
