Problem with drive train.

[Tton]

One of our motors blows the 40 amp breakers every 4 inches in turns when turning. On the HDTP it does so we think its because we have to much tracktion. Any way to fix this? and idea if its something else. We are getting a new motor now and I hope its the motor and not the amps.

You will have much better luck telling us your gear ratio, which motor, your wheel diameter and what type of surface you have on your wheels.

So far we have an insane amount of traction, 4 motors in the drivetrain and we don't blow the breakers so your gear ratio may be too high.

rule of thumb for 4wd with no differential:


distance from axle to axle lengthwise > width between wheels = turning problems
