Re: Victor 883 problem, please help.

Hello all,

Thank you so much for your insight. I have since replaced my 15 year old futaba controller, it was the main cause of the problem. The Vic was not getting a PWM signal. I have a new controller and it delivers a proper strong PWM signal.

Now there is a new problem. I have a small 550 mabuchi size brushed motor in my RC car. This thing pulls maybe a 60 amps with this 7.2v nimh pack. It is hooked up to my vic 883 and my new controller. If I floor it, it STUTTERS badly.

I calibrated the vic, got the green light for a good calibration. So that worked out. But the stuttering is occuring in both forward and in reverse.

If I dont floor the throttle, it wont stutter. If I pull gradually into throttle it wont do it, only when I got wide open throttle. It might be a large current surge, but how on earth can this little motor affect the vic 883? I used to put close to 200 amps through this vic NO PROBLEM. I dont think it is a current carrying capability. I am not sure where the stuttering problem is coming from now.

Please help if you can,

Thanks
