In this thrilling episode of Tomley RC, the team delves into the heart-pounding world of the Arma Granite 222 23S. A beast of a machine, but plagued by a vexing ESC issue triggering premature low voltage cutoff. The folks at Arma weren't having any of it, swiftly summoning the original car back for a thorough examination. Armor, not ones to shy away from a challenge, pinpointed the culprit - a suspect adapter causing all the mayhem. Swapping it out for an EC5 connector, the team put the car through its paces, revealing a stark difference in performance.
With the battery in tow, the team pushed the Granite to its limits, clocking in 9 minutes before hitting thermal shutdown. But fear not, for the Big Rock 223S BLX was ready to take the stage. Armed with a superior battery, this bad boy hit a blistering 50 mph, showcasing its prowess at a nearby skate park. However, not without its quirks - chassis slaps and a rebellious fan added a touch of drama to the proceedings. Yet, the Big Rock soldiered on, lasting over 10 minutes of high-octane action before succumbing to the dreaded LVC.
Despite the challenges faced, the team couldn't help but admire the resilience of the Armors. Tough as nails, these machines proved their mettle time and time again. But a lingering question remained - should the 2-in-1 ESC setup be reconsidered in favor of separate components? A debate for the ages, as the team reflected on the highs and lows of their RC escapades. Tune in next time as Tomley RC continues to push the boundaries of remote-controlled excitement, one thrilling ride at a time.
