Then it started raining and hasn't really stopped for a few days, ?
But it is charged and ready to GOOOoooooooooo
Sorry for not posting a update. I did go and discharge it a bit.
But then got a day where the sun wasn't actually out, but it wasn't raining.
Ran it a few times, first I re-programmed the ESC for LiPo settings.
Ehhhhhhhh, the jury is still out.
I am starting to wonder if I should have listened and got a brushless motor, lower in Kv's. Maybe that's the problem.
Maybe 4300Kv is just to high?
Ok, so I just hooked up another goolrc system for one of my son's trucks, same motor as mine(3100kv) same gearing, slightly smaller 2.8 tires. This is my 3rd one. Just testing indoors, full throttle and no tires ballooning. It would slightly balloon the tires with the old 550 brushed motor. It should turn them tires into pizza cutters. So I cranked my throttle trim all the way for forward and it increased the speed noticeably. Now this tells me it's not getting full throttle signal. These dumb spectrum transmitters I have (dx2e) won't go into program mode so I can't increase max throttle output. Which means I have to somehow calibrate the esc. I googled it and couldn't find anything. They come pre calibrated but hopefully I'll find a way to recalibrate it.
Long story short, take your rear tires off, run the truck full throttle forwards, and crank your throttle trim all the way forward. If you hear the motor spinning faster, you have the same issue I just ran into. If not, then I guess that's good. Just remeber to recenter the trim, otherwise it'll keep spinning forward when you let off the throttle.

Side note, I don't remember which one of you suggested the fuel line spacers to lower the ride height, what size of hose?
