Hey I have T3 with a Tekin rebel. I have a AM Futaba Junior. 13T double Integy 7.5 motor. I have 2 1500 and 1 1700 batterys.It will go fast for about a 1minute then slowly die down. So i picked it up and dropped it on the ground and there it went again. So that goes on again about 2 or 3 times. Then finally I ge mad and throw it at the ground(lands on all 4 wheels)and it worked till the battery died. I tried every one of my baterys and all do he same thing.Whats going on!
Help

How old is the motor and other electrics? Someone else had a simular problem and I think it ended up being a problem with the brushes on the motor. It seems to be a mechanical problem like a stuck brush. I'm sure you already disconnected ethe electrics and then reconnected them making sure the connections were tight and correct right? I am not trying to insult you but sometimes we think the worse and in doing so we may forget the easy fix.
Did you replace the transmitter batteries? Are the electrics getting abnormally hot?

What kind of plugs are you using on your battery and esc? If Tamiya, replace them with deans ultra plugs and you'll have no problems.

Yes I have replaced the batterys on my radio. I got the motor 3 days ago. I have Tamiya connectors. What do I do if the brushes are sticking? Do I replace them or blast the motor with motor cleaner or just squirt some comm drops.

The general rule in electronics, if it's not working, it's not working... if it's sometimes working, it's a loose connection.

The general rule in RC, if you wish to stay in RC, don't throw your gear.

Try changing your plaugs first to Deans Ultras. They work great and wont wear out like the Tamiya's do.
