TROUBLESHOOTING
In case of malfunction, check the connections, settings and
installation. Make sure that the batteries are also charged
and functional.
NOTE: Using low power NiMH batteries can cause the dDrive
to overheat and have low performance. Use of LiPo batteries
is recommended.
Recommended working temperature: For optimal
performance, adjust the gearing and ESC settings so that the
outer case temperature is comprised between 60-80°C max
(140-175°F max).
Overheating and/or stutter: Make sure that the car’s
transmission runs freely. Check the gearing, use a smaller
pinion if necessary.
Low performance: Make sure that the car’s transmission
runs freely. Check the gearing, if the motor temperature is
low, you can use a bigger pinion to increase performance.
Do not use the dDrive if the case, connectors or wires are
damaged. Stop using the dDrive immediately if it overheats
excessively, melts or emits smoke.
If you are unable to solve the issue, stop using the ESC and
seek assistance from your local Team Orion reseller.
