My experiences w a few goolrc products were miserable. This is a polite way of calling them junk.

[@arkansasrcnewbie]

Well there are many things I feel the same with! Lol

[@gregmcclure2640]

I agree with the ESC hitting the Low Voltage Cutoff. That is a really small battery; unable to handle the "burst" current when punching the throttle. Put one of these setups in my wife's old school E Maxx and it runs great (with 5000 MAH Lipos.). I am waiting for a programming card to raise the start mode because it struggles when starting to roll in tall grass. Get the programming card that has all the programming parameters as outlined on the instructions. Happy bashing!

[@arkansasrcnewbie]

Good points man, thanks for watching and I hope you watch the second video that came out with the gool. It might surprise you 👍 Thanks for the comment and view man.

[@Oper8or]

Tick, that is called a brown out. Your drawing more Amperage from the battery then it can sustain. That little battery isnt enough to power that KV of a motor at that RPM plus powering a servo that is always drawing current. That is what I think is going on. Look at the C rating on the battery.

[@arkansasrcnewbie]

please watch newest video!! 😜Got it all dialed in my man, appreciate the input though...

[@kyleteal5888]

This guy is right 2500 to 3200 mah and 35c is usually the minimum for brushless to not hit lipo cutoff all the time.

[@arkansasrcnewbie]

@Kyle Teal hey man, don't know if you have seen this. Thanks for watching. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rF7UY6xoq9mWe8k

[@sniffles117]

Had my Goolrc combo for 5+ years now. Been really good system. I do suggest Nimh batteries first to do a kinda break in. Then move to 2s. I think most folks call them junk because they go straight to the 3s and fry them instantly. Its like "Hey! what do ya expect?".

[@arkansasrcnewbie]

Gotcha 👍 appreciate the comment man. I seen it had a ton of bad reviews and thought I would give it a chance. I asked for a return, then it came in and I used the esc, with the same battery. The system kicked right on and ran like a charm😁 Appreciate you watching brother

[@iluvcrypto7138]

I spent the entire night doing this man I just got it out of the box I tested power to everything and now it's working I'm so happy and I found the comment on KZbin

[@arkansasrcnewbie]

😁😁😁

[@jim-xi1ml]

Try lipo battery's the battery you used was too small it cannot handle the berst current

[@carloswright]

Make an esc mount plate for where the factory esc screwed in, then stick it on there with double sided tape. It is likely hitting low voltage cutoff. That is a very small battery, so when you are giving it throttle voltage is dropping below long enough for it to cutoff. You really need a 3000mah lipo or higher. I run 5200-8500mah in my slashes.

[@arkansasrcnewbie]

Appreciate the comment Carlos, I have recently got it working and found the issue! Hope to see you on the update man, thanks

[@booboomarshburn1577]

Turn on controller,pull throttle all the way. Turn on the speed control as you hold the throttle and wait for ten seconds and let off. I have the same setup,you need matching gool rc program card as well. It will help with cogging.

[@arkansasrcnewbie]

Boo Boo thanks for the comment brother. I will be sure to do that and hopefully it works. I have ordered a replacement which should be here soon. So if this works I can send it right back, thank you👍

[@rcjunior888]

@@arkansasrcnewbie To Be Honest. The Cheap ESC is also bad. I actually got a replacement from the Seller, But runs like crap in my Granite Voltage. Huge HUGE Delay. It takes 5-8 Seconds to get up to speed

[@ceborlas]

When you have it turned "on" and the throttle decides to cut out. Try to adjust the throttle trim up until it starts to roll. Then slowly trim it back down to neutral. This might work as I have had this issue and this was the solution for me. It's a hassle because I have to do it every time I turn on the RC. But it does what I need it to do for budget electronics. And when you find the solution, it still makes the price for it a good deal.

Thanks for the comment and man, if I were going to go crawler I would not put a brushless goolrc anything. Shotty and spotty, I would look at a 2 in 1 combo like my fusion.

[@MarkJohnMorris]

Yeah battery is too weak for esc. Also, for future reference and for anyone else, with brushless motors, just swap any 2 motor wires. So example, swap red and yellow connections. This will fix the fwd/rvs issue.

[@iluvcrypto7138]

It's because it's trying to start at full power you need to turn your throttle trim to where the ESC will stop

[@arkansasrcnewbie]

Appreciate it brother, please watch the few most recent videos.

[@dolla1269]

I had this exact same setup the motor is fabulous in perfmoring but the computer is so cheaply made I put a 3s 11.1v battery innit played with it for 15min the computer caught on fire and started smoking thankfully I was able to save the rc car and now I’m running a hobbywing quicrun wp 8bl150 g2 and hobbywing quicrun 4274sl 2000kv black g2 motor

[@arkansasrcnewbie]

Dang it! Thats a shame lol

[@iluvcrypto7138]

Bro it's the throttle trim turn the car on turn your remote on and then dial your throttle trim until the ESC beeps different beep

[@arkansasrcnewbie]

Appreciate the help man, please watch the newest couple of videos featuring the gool.

[@iluvcrypto7138]

I did this you have to unplug the battery a few times until it restarts and then turn your throttle trim the light on the ESC will turn on and then off and then it will work

[@arkansasrcnewbie]

Turn on switch on unplug the battery plug it back in and then turn your throttle trim until it beeps differently

[@abelhernandez7891]

Had the same issue, but mine turned out to be the reciever that was the issue. The esc was not recognizing the reciever for a traxxas radio. Once I changed to a different radio and reciever it cleared up.

[@arkansasrcnewbie]

Thanks for the comment brother, I hope you watch the second video.

[@JorgeGarcia-js5bm]

I have recent bought this and the ESC and motor are good for 20 minute run and then die. This only uses 2 S abt regardless that ESC says otherwise. The instructions inside state only 2S batteries. The 3 replacements gave out which is a shame. Seemed great the first 12 minutes and then stutters and goes haywire. Unfortunately had to return everything. The ESC and motor with the Black wiring lasted more than the color coordinated ones. Bought the set for $37 and apparently the upgraded version now is purple instead of the orange

[@arkansasrcnewbie]

Sounds like a headache! Lol This has been a great basher after getting replacement parts. Be sure to checkout the 2 other videos as well. Thanks for the comment, sorry it pooped put on ya. I have gotta look into the purple one!

[@steveperson5686]

Seems like a power issue. Verify if the battery is balance charged? I had this issue and even was stuck at half power with a full charge battery. I ended up discharging and balance charging and its been fine since. The battery you are using is a decent crawler battery however Zee has a decent 5200mah 7.4v 2cell for about $20 USD on ebay.

[@arkansasrcnewbie]

Man thank you for the input, now I bought a 5200mah 11.1 volt and still nothing!! LOL Then i reached out t Amazon and they sent me another setup, seems the esc was trash. So it's all good now 👍 Thanks man

Mine did basically the same thing. But it worked for about 10min with severe cogging and a noticeable dead spot at half throttle. Tried messing with start settings and lowering battery voltage settings. Then the program card quit. Followed by the Esc complete failure. Installed a surpass 60a Esc, worked fine , still running
