I agree with the ESC hitting the Low Voltage Cutoff. That is a really small battery; unable to handle the "burst" current when punching the throttle. Put one of these setups in my wife's old school E Maxx and it runs great (with 5000 MAH Lipos.). I am waiting for a programming card to raise the start mode because it struggles when starting to roll in tall grass. Get the programming card that has all the programming parameters as outlined on the instructions. Happy bashing!
Good points man, thanks for watching and I hope you watch the second video that came out with the gool. It might surprise you 👍 Thanks for the comment and view man.
My experiences w a few goolrc products were miserable. This is a polite way of calling them junk.
Well there are many things I feel the same with! Lol
Make an esc mount plate for where the factory esc screwed in, then stick it on there with double sided tape. It is likely hitting low voltage cutoff. That is a very small battery, so when you are giving it throttle voltage is dropping below long enough for it to cutoff. You really need a 3000mah lipo or higher. I run 5200-8500mah in my slashes.
Appreciate the comment Carlos, I have recently got it working and found the issue! Hope to see you on the update man, thanks
I spent the entire night doing this man I just got it out of the box I tested power to everything and now it's working I'm so happy and I found the comment on CZcams
😁😁😁
Try lipo battery's the battery you used was too small it cannot handle the berst current
Had my Goolrc combo for 5+ years now. Been really good system. I do suggest Nimh batteries first to do a kinda break in. Then move to 2s. I think most folks call them junk because they go straight to the 3s and fry them instantly. Its like "Hey! what do ya expect?".
Gotcha 👍 appreciate the comment man. I seen it had a ton of bad reviews and thought I would give it a chance. I asked for a return, then it came in and I used the esc, with the same battery. The system kicked right on and ran like a charm😁 Appreciate you watching brother
Tick, that is called a brown out. Your drawing more Amperage from the battery then it can sustain. That little battery isnt enough to power that KV of a motor at that RPM plus powering a servo that is always drawing current. That is what I think is going on. Look at the C rating on the battery.
please watch newest video!! 😜Got it all dialed in my man, appreciate the input though...
This guy is right 2500 to 3200 mah and 35c is usually the minimum for brushless to not hit lipo cutoff all the time.
@Kyle Teal hey man, don't know if you have seen this. Thanks for watching. czcams.com/video/v-q2y2vtcEg/video.html
Had the same issue, but mine turned out to be the reciever that was the issue. The esc was not recognizing the reciever for a traxxas radio. Once I changed to a different radio and reciever it cleared up.
Thanks for the comment brother, I hope you watch the second video.
Mine did basically the same thing. But it worked for about 10min with severe cogging and a noticeable dead spot at half throttle. Tried messing with start settings and lowering battery voltage settings. Then the program card quit.
Followed by the Esc complete failure.
Installed a surpass 60a Esc, worked fine , still running
Good to hear Bob, thanks for the comment and heads up! It's funny i am going to record an update today and it should be up tomorrow👍 Glad yours is working with a new Esc, but still is not right 🤨 I hope to see ya on the next man🤘
The fact that worked surprises me. I ordered one. It was a faulty ESC
Man, that's a bummer...You know the review videos afterwards went waay better!! Lol
@@arkansasrcnewbie To Be Honest. The Cheap ESC is also bad. I actually got a replacement from the Seller, But runs like crap in my Granite Voltage. Huge HUGE Delay. It takes 5-8 Seconds to get up to speed
Turn on controller,pull throttle all the way. Turn on the speed control as you hold the throttle and wait for ten seconds and let off. I have the same setup,you need matching gool rc program card as well. It will help with cogging.
Boo Boo thanks for the comment brother. I will be sure to do that and hopefully it works. I have ordered a replacement which should be here soon. So if this works I can send it right back, thank you👍
@@arkansasrcnewbie try the stock gearing at first. That motor being non sensored does not like to be over geared.
Yes sir, may just try without motor installed👍
mine has a lag when i hit the trottle idk hot to fix it..seems like a programming error
When you have it turned "on" and the throttle decides to cut out. Try to adjust the throttle trim up until it starts to roll. Then slowly trim it back down to neutral. This might work as I have had this issue and this was the solution for me. It's a hassle because I have to do it every time I turn on the RC. But it does what I need it to do for budget electronics. And when you find the solution, it still makes the price for it a good deal.
Well thanks fornthe input man. This thing is a rocket now!! Checkout the newest 2 vids on it😉
for a guy like me who just putts em around for fun they are a great option.
For sure man, I am with ya. This thing is a sweet basher 👍
Seems like a power issue. Verify if the battery is balance charged? I had this issue and even was stuck at half power with a full charge battery. I ended up discharging and balance charging and its been fine since. The battery you are using is a decent crawler battery however Zee has a decent 5200mah 7.4v 2cell for about $20 USD on ebay.
Man thank you for the input, now I bought a 5200mah 11.1 volt and still nothing!! LOL Then i reached out t Amazon and they sent me another setup, seems the esc was trash. So it's all good now 👍 Thanks man
I just bought a combo myself. Can't get it to work as the ESC is always on (off switch doesn't work) so I can't turn it on to set up.
I'll watch your next vid to see how you sorted it out.
Paul, thank you for the comment man. I appreciate you seeing another video on it lol. That's a shame about your setup man, 😕 hopefully it's in the return period
My beds is doing the same thing. I ordered and am waiting for another esc.ordered hobbywing quick run.
Good luck man, finally got this thing running well. After a new esc course lol.
Did you figure this out? is there a follow up video? I had this same issue turned out my remote had a weak battery? thanks
Yes, thanks for asking. Here is the follow-up: czcams.com/video/v-q2y2vtcEg/video.html
did u find out ? im doing the same upgrade even same car except for the servo
Hey brother, please watch this. Oh turn them notifications on please 🤘🤘
czcams.com/video/v-q2y2vtcEg/video.html
I have recent bought this and the ESC and motor are good for 20 minute run and then die. This only uses 2 S abt regardless that ESC says otherwise. The instructions inside state only 2S batteries. The 3 replacements gave out which is a shame. Seemed great the first 12 minutes and then stutters and goes haywire. Unfortunately had to return everything. The ESC and motor with the Black wiring lasted more than the color coordinated ones. Bought the set for $37 and apparently the upgraded version now is purple instead of the orange
Sounds like a headache! Lol This has been a great basher after getting replacement parts. Be sure to checkout the 2 other videos as well. Thanks for the comment, sorry it pooped put on ya. I have gotta look into the purple one!
I guess ill find out in a future episode if you got it figured out!!
Man, I wish everyone was like you when it comes to that! Lol 👊
Maybe try calibrating the esc to know the end points of the transmitter.
Appreciate ya brother, hopefully you watch the second Vid 👍
Seems like its the battery. Did you check the battery voltage after to see if it drained?
I did Luke, it only took a little more to charge it fully.... I'm at a loss, I also hooked up a fully charged nimh
@@arkansasrcnewbie I don't know bro I just feel like those little batteries ain't cutting it
🤔🤔🤔🤔
For the esc you can make an esc mount or buy one.👍🏻👍🏻
Nice!! 💪💪💪
I did this you have to unplug the battery a few times until it restarts and then turn your throttle trim the light on the ESC will turn on and then off and then it will work
👍
I had this exact same setup the motor is fabulous in perfmoring but the computer is so cheaply made I put a 3s 11.1v battery innit played with it for 15min the computer caught on fire and started smoking thankfully I was able to save the rc car and now I’m running a hobbywing quicrun wp 8bl150 g2 and hobbywing quicrun 4274sl 2000kv black g2 motor
Dang it! Thats a shame lol
New subscriber here. That is pulling more amperage than that battery can handle
Appreciate the sub brother 🙏 Please watch the Review!! Be sure and comment on that ad well please. See you around man

Thanks for the comment and man, if I were going to go crawler I would not put a brushless goolrc anything. Shotty and spotty, I would look at a 2 in 1 combo like my fusion. Here is an affiliate link, it's under $100 and way tunable, plus no bulky esc. There is a video on it as well 1800kv
amzn.to/3xffwl7
@@arkansasrcnewbie AWESOME! Thank you very much!
Do you know how many turns this motor is?
Man I I not it's kv, you can check the videos description for a link though
It's because it's trying to start at full power you need to turn your throttle trim to where the ESC will stop
Appreciate it brother, please watch the few most recent videos.
I've never seen such a big battery in such a little truck! Ooh i wonder what the problem is? 🙈
🤣🤣🤣😎
May have to get a high C rating on your 2s batteries or just run 3s.
Hey brother, thanks for the input. But please watch the videos regarding the gool since the last one. You will be surprised! Lol
How do you waterproof a cooling fan?
Lol no clue!! Good question for Gool 😄
I don't think you can. Look in the directions; they may recommend unplugging it when you know it'll get really wet. After all, the water would cool the ESC. @@arkansasrcnewbie
It's your battery you need a bigger battery for the bigger stuff
Man please watch the review/update video 👍👍👍 Thanks for the input.
You have to unplug the ESC from the transmitter to reset it
👍
Turn on switch on unplug the battery plug it back in and then turn your throttle trim until it beeps differently
👍
Do you have to program the esc for nimh and lipo 2s
Nah brother, it works just fine. They actually sent me another one and it turns out the ESC was bad. But to answer the question, the ECS does it automatically.
@@arkansasrcnewbie so you dont have to program the esc at all
@@arkansasrcnewbie they didnt have brushless wen i was a kid and im just getting back into it
No sir, sorry for the late reply man, youtube held the comment lol.
Awesome man, me too kind of. Im not old but i used to race them back in the day and everything has changed!! LOL
I ordered the same one didn't last a single run on 3s
Damn! What a bummer man, I really wanted to try a 4s lol.
Bro it's the throttle trim turn the car on turn your remote on and then dial your throttle trim until the ESC beeps different beep
Appreciate the help man, please watch the newest couple of videos featuring the gool.
Try turning your throttle trim to 0 on your transmitter
Cameron thanks for the input man, I have got to get the follow up video out!! You are gonna dig it 👍
No tape it on the left side of battery tray
I will on my next build, thanks!
Bigger battery for brushless
Thanks for the input Craig, please be sure and watch the updated 2 videos.
Yeah battery is too weak for esc. Also, for future reference and for anyone else, with brushless motors, just swap any 2 motor wires. So example, swap red and yellow connections. This will fix the fwd/rvs issue.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Probably the ESC needs to be calibrated to your transmitter.
Man please watch the follow up review.
MAY HAVE TO BIND IT OR PROGRAM IT
Appreciate the comment brother, tried the binding process but nothing worked...Please watch the newest video on the Gool 👍
@@arkansasrcnewbie yep that is what i thougt about gool rc gon't know what you will get
I don't know crap I had the same issue it's not ur battery ,iknow u ain't gonna like my idea but I did (BLUE-WHITE) ,(WHITE-BLUE) it runs okay throttle is normal
I'm right there with ya lol, but please watch the second review/update idea. Thanks for the comment man. 👍
Yeah thanks helped alot bro , your channel is bad ass brotha keep up with the hard work 💪
That’s what I had to do as well wtf
A dead battery probably. I did run into that problem before and it was the battery.
Thanks for the input brother, please watch h the review 👍
I am.....just wow. WOW!!!!! You're luck that micro battery didn't go supernova and turn you house into a black hole!!!!!! Real life equivalent or trying to run a real car off 3 AA batteries.
🤣🤣🤣🫡 NOTED!!!
start by multiplying the capacity by 3...
👏 Yes Sir
Bast on the battery you r using and your expectations !! I would say you don't know what u r doing but this video is old so
🤣 Still no clue as to what I'm doing man lol, but learning!!
It's the alternator 😂😂😂
Nah, it was the blinker fluid 😆
My guy, I will give you a 3S Velineon combo for the low price of - get that crap out of there.
🤣🤣 Consider it GONE!! LOL Gotta find out the issue man, it's driving me nuts!
Shove a 3s lipo in that ho and see if she'll scream. I don't know for certain, but I believe your batteries are letting you down. My knowledge of Gool ends at stay away. If that doesn't work check the manwhell.
I'd like to msg you privately if possible. I'm in central ar and I'm serious about donating some electronics and discussing build/performance/techniques of rc crawling.
Might be your reciever if it’s old
Please watch the 2 videos after, thanks!
To small mah or discharge get a bigger pack with at least 50c discharge
Thanks for the comment brother, please watch the ukdsted/review vid. It will surprise ya 😉
@@arkansasrcnewbie yea I seen I guessed it also couldve been problem with the esc and motor but battery is first thing you look at
Maybe that battery is to small
Appreciate the input man, I have to do an update but i did buy a bigger 3s lipo and still no go. Then I got a replacement and it is the ESC!! LOL Thanks for watching brother.
The servo comes with this 54$ combo they dont say anything about it
Really?
@@arkansasrcnewbie tea say nothing about a servo
Yeah it needed calibrating to your controller first and that battery is no way big enough for that system!
Hey Paul, appreciate the comment man. Please watch the following 2 videos regarding the setup. You will be surprised 😮
Use a smaller battery bro
Is this too big for a thrasher style? I do love the speed lol.
That lipo 😂 .. a wee bit small.
🤣 it did get the job done!!
Use double sided tape
👍👍Thanks Brother
Probably should get a handicapped helmet.
My dad has said that for all my life🤣 Why don't you be more specific on what you mean.
Try a bigger battery.
Appreciate the comment, please check the two newest videos regarding the gool 👍 thanks
แอมป์แบตเตอร์รี่ไม่พอหรือปล่าวพี่ชาย
Hey man, please watch the updated video.
@@arkansasrcnewbie ok
I think the battery is to small. 😂
Oh no it is not!! Lol Please watch the follow up review, thanks man.
You need another battery😂
Well please watch the newest version!! I think you may be surprised 😊😊😊
@@arkansasrcnewbie it was the esc I saw it bud...
Esc is hot, so stop work.yeah maybe
🤔🤔🤔
Dude what the heck happened with that battery put a good battery in that RC doing shitty stuff wow put a 3s battery believe me you'll be fine I'm really stupid fast without 19 pinion 💪👍👍👍👍👍
Hey Luis, please watch the update/review vid👍 czcams.com/video/v-q2y2vtcEg/video.html
Thanks for watching man
The flash is the low voltage directeur
Thank you, but please watch the newest of Gool RC vids, you will be surprised!!
Get a real battery and mount that esc properly. Not sure what’s going on here 😂
🤣 NEWBIE!! LOL Thanks brother.
WTF YOU HAVE A RC CHANNEL.
😂😂😂 Yes I Do!!! Hit that like and Sub BABY!
You need a real battery
Please watch the 2 other vids
It's garbage same thing happened to me
Man please watch the update/review vid.
