Re: Turning Trouble!

You have to much traction. Many other teams are having this problem. What is happening is you are drawing to much current when you try to overcome the friction between the sliding wheels and carpet and your 40 amp breakers are switching making you jerky. I am assuming you are using a AWD setup. The best option is to make a set of the tires slide easier from side to side and keep your forward and backwards traction. If you are using the kit wheels. Many have solve part of this by attaching zip ties completely around a set of the wheels. If you have pnuematic tires, air them all the way up in most cases, some have complained about the bouncyness. Other team, with more time than you have, have created omniwheels which slide on rollers side to side and drive forward. There are other thread addressing these problems if you search under turning or boncy.

This is only during turning? If it does this driving straight you have a whole different range of problems.

Good luck and ask any more questions you need answered.
