- My son's Stampede has been giving us a LOT of trouble. It started to cog really bad about 1-2 months ago.
I knew the motor was really worn, so threw a new motor at it.
...that didn't seem to help.
I adjusted the suspension.
....that didn't seem to help.
I put new bearings all around.
...that didn't seem to help.
I put in a new ESC.
....that didn't seem to help.
I adjusted the gear mesh.
...that didn't seem to help.
Finally, I decided to put another motor in it again. It finally fixed it!!
The look and reaction from James was all worth it!

Make sure to see my son's reaction at the end of the video when he drives it again!
This is why we do this!!😊
to see your sons reaction when you fixed it for him is priceless a dad always cares for his son mate
*😀🔍total watch✅ supporting each other🔎🎭✅ you got our like 👍🇦🇺👍😀*
LOVE IT! Priceless moment right there brother 👊👍. My Son is 2 now. He's been super interested on my Rigs. Can't wait to do more RC stuff with him..
My son got this when he was 3.5-4. It was a brushed 4x4 to start. Honestly - it was just about right as far as speed goes.
The other thing that seemed like his favorite at first was a crawler (Losi Night Crawler or Redcat Everest 10). Since his coordination was bad, it helped that he could drive OVER everything! 😁😁
Reminds me of my Gold Wing back in the day. The guy at RadioShack taught me...
These things are there to test us out bro, it's a money pit for sure 😱 glad you sorted it and your Son seemed happy with it, great video my friend 👍😁👍
At first, I was not going to post this video. But then, if someone else was pulling their hair out trying to work through this problem, I hoped it would help them.
Thanks for watching.
Very nice, sometimes I also get those moments where for whatever reason somethings just don't mate up. While I've never messed with the timing, but in some of the newer stuff I've had to replace, I've found that it is a setting that can be adjusted, do you think your issue had something to do with that?
Good question!
I did try to change the punch settings on the ESC - no help. I also tried swapping wires between the ESC and motor - still no help.
Perhaps you are right. If the ESC was fully programmable, perhaps a timing shift would have solved it!
Had the exact motor in mine, put a 540xl VXL in it and now it’s coging. I had to solder new connectors. I checked those and found three weren’t great connections. Fixed those, still coging 😢
It is hard to track down sometimes!
When I try to click the bell for notifications from your channel, it just says "request contains an invalid argument". And the Bell won't activate. What the hell does that mean?
That is an odd one - no clue. I'm guessing TH-cam is having some issues.
They are usually pretty good about fixing those things within a day or so.
Glad you got it fixed. You did the check list for sure. Stinks it took a bit of work, but all sorted now!👍👍 He liked it lol!
Thanks! Should be good to go for awhile!
Way to take the time to fix your sons truck. He sure was excited!
His excitement makes it all worth it!
this little guy hits the road man🤘 glad to see that the motor works pretty good💪💪
Ok, I’ve had this on my Rustler for about a year. The esc it came wit never worked, got another one & my 1st drive ripped the stock tires off. Coming from XL5 to this is night & day for $35... wouldn’t put over 2S. From all I’ve found out, don’t get the fan wet, (MAIN PROBLEM) it’s made by hobbywing, so Definitely get the Program Card.
Cogging,, with stock tires on my Rustler no cogging at all,, Programmed to highest start point.
Do get cogging with the Badlands tires (just on back) & (COMPLETELY Ballon) which are much bigger & more weight, but still only cogs in a pinch.
Are your motor temps high ?? Mine gets high with the big tires.
Our motors certainly get warm, but nothing too crazy honestly. Plus, with some of these cheaper brushless setups, we just run them until they die and swap in a new one.
Father and son bash coming right up. 😂👍👍
Coming to a small screen near you!!
That's a shame about that new motor, did you try it with any other ESCs?. Like you said my be it doesn't like the ESC, I have had some motors and ESCs that did not get along in the past.
I need to do that next! Thanks for the suggestion.
Hey cool video, you seem to know you stuff with Esc's and electronis. I was wondering if you could help me with my Esc issue. When I turn my rc on and give it throttle the engines just violently goes into forward and reverse back and forth rapidly. I tried it with a working engine out of another rc to make sure it wasn't the motor that was bad, and it was the same thing. give it throttle and the engine just goes forward and reverse back and forth super fast and violently and the wires on the esc heat up very quickly. Is this a dead esc? Thanks!
Unfortunately, my guess is the ESC is dead.
Unless it is a sensored ESC, and you are not running a sensored motor?
What ESC is it?
@@RoadsideRC I see, well the sticker fell off of the esc so im not sure what it is anymore, I bought it from a hobby shop in edmonton ab it was around $150 canadian and professional grade according to the guy the shop. it also ran fine for over 2 years and only in the last month or two it started acting up and now this issue. The issue now that I think about it started, or at least got much worst much faster, when I upgraded my motor to a higher KV, my old one was like 1700 kv and my knew one is over 3000, not sure exactly maybe 3250kv. I noticed that my battery connector and esc connector fused together and the wires were super hot, burn your skin if you touched them. I looked and the connector melted on the battery thou the esc connector looked fine. I am wondering if maybe something burnt out, or if i completely fried the esc. I tried a differnt motor that was working and it still won't go so I am assuming now its the esc. I may have to tear the shell off the esc and have a look at the internals. thanks for the help thou :)
Wow! Yes - that would have done it!
Most ESCs have a range of motor they can work with. Going from a 1700kv to a 3000+kv is 100% what fried the ESC.
Job well done. All smiles at the end
Thanks!
I just bought a stampede vxl trx model and it goes super slow any tips on how to fix this? Ps I’m new to driving rc cars so i have no idea what im doing!
Since it is the VXL model, it shouldn't seem slow.
A few things to check:
1) what battery are you using, and are you sure it is charged fully?
2) the ESC in that truck has a "training mode". Ensure you are not accidentally in that mode.
@@RoadsideRC ive made sure the the battery is charged and checked to see if it was in training mode both didn’t work it like starts to drive and then just stops or goes really slow idk whats wrong could it be the little motor in the back? I got it from a older gentleman so idk if he kept up with the maintenance or not.
@@RoadsideRC is there any way possible i could video chat you some time and show you what im talking about ik you dont know me and i dont know you but i really need some expert help and idk who i could show the issues to.
isnt it funny how the 1st new motor didnt help.. electronics are so finicky at times. love the video
Thanks. Yes - very surprised the first motor didn't help.
@@RoadsideRC 3 days ago I installed a $30 brushless esc motor combo in my 2wd stampede. The slipper clutch has already loosened. I wonder what else will break soon LOL
Dang the set up you had with the gool rc motor in your stampede was the exact Same I had in my stampede 4wd!
That combo rocked! Great power and a super reasonable price!
It's really good video ~~!!😁😁
My Slash was making a rapid DATDATDATDAT every time I started it up and then it would run fine. Took a while but eventually the front output bearing on the driveline diff seizing up. I didn't discover it until too late & had to replace the diff housing.
Sure glad I didn't have to replace a motor though :-)
Yeah - that was one of the bearings I went through also.
As it turns out, I don't think I replace the bearings in my vehicles often enough....lesson learned!
I had some bad luck with the GOOlrc stuff.
What wheels are u using
They are pro-line 17mm 2.8" MT wheels.
Oh what Kv motor is it I might get it for my FTX Outlaw 😁
I believe this was the 3300KV. I have been very happy with them.
Just made his day
It makes me happier when my vehicles run right also!! :)
Great Daddy'N pal, 💎
That is right!
Wow very nice video big thumbs up my friend XD
Thank you!
Great
Not everybody speaks Traxxas. What’s “cogging”?
Cogging is when the ESC and motor are trying to start from a stop, but can't get synched correctly. It makes a stuttering sound.
@@RoadsideRC Well, in that case, I deal with that same issue. Thanks for the clarity. Any handset solution yet? I initially thought it was a battery issue.
Wow that was totally ,,,,,not worth watching. You just had a video of you spending money for your child didn't have no information anyone can use
Sorry it didn't help you.
Are you battling cogging at the moment?
My thought was to share the steps I went through in trouble-shooting this so it would help others.
Haha awesome. My oldest is is getting old enough to play with some big kid toys. We just started venturing into the rc world. He has a cheapo 30kmh/20mph buggy and I've got a mean 100kmh/60mph truck
Awesome! Welcome to the hobby!
Great
