This Might Be Why (Solved)"},"content":{"rendered":"\n
It’s a nice weekend, and you\u2019re outdoors pursuing your RC racing hobby. You miss a turn and go off the track. You reverse back to the track and notice that your car is faster in reverse. You may wonder how this can be true?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The following is a list of the probable issues that can cause your RC car to go faster in reverse:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Most issues that cause this are mostly mechanical. Failure of some electrical components also causes a high reversing speed. Today, we’ll take an in-depth look at these issues and their solutions so you will be back to shredding the track ASAP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before we understand in detail about the causes and fixes, it\u2019s important to understand the type of motor system and ESC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are two main types of motor system in the RC hobby:<\/p>\n\n\n\n And depending on the type of motor system you have, you will have the ESC accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now the type of fixes you do will rely on what type of system you have. To figure this out, refer back to your manual or search about your specific ESC model online and that should give you a good idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pro-Tip:<\/strong> In a sensored motor system, you will find around 6 little cables connecting to the ESC from sensors present on the motor shaft. This is a clear sign, you have a sensored motor system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, now what about the fixes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n For sensorless systems:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For sensored systems:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Other than these fixes, it\u2019s also worth checking low battery and motor failure issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your RC car is electrically powered, it uses either a brushed motor or a brushless motor. High-end electric RC cars tend to be fitted with brushless motors and electronic speed controllers (which control the throttle). They last much longer, are more powerful and have no expiry date. Brushed motors are cheaper, have a lower life span and are less powerful than brushless motors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Related post: Why your RC Car is Going Slow All of A Sudden<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n If your RC car has a brushed motor, there are chances that a short-circuit might have damaged you ESC (electronic speed controller), making it produce more power while turning<\/a> in reverse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
