weird power surges

[hawkskater]

on my first f-150, sometimes i would get weird power spikes, like i would have a max stage 2 torque set up, and all the sudden i would lose all torque, and have no topspeed, it would just keep going faster and faster. and sometimes i would have a 12 tooth speed gear in, and i would have a really low topspeed and a massive, wheelie popping amount of torque. WHy was this happening? i have no idea how or why.

Its probilly the motor caps or wht ever those are called, i had the prob be4 and i emailed am about they sugested that and it was the problem.

same here man but my hummer has crazy speed now out of a stage one when even i got to pull a wheelie it flips backward to much torque so i guess it just flips??

Motor Caps have nothing to do with power surges. Motor caps are to eliminate all possible frequency noise emitted by the motor because of electronical arcing inside the motor. I dunno what AM told you, but that would be false information.

It's most likely your batteries. They're straining under the load, and every once in a while, the power flows for a second, or it locks up..

Could be glitching in the radio too, stuff happens.

I' think it could be the diff that doesn't work properly,it happened something similar,with my iwaver...I know it's a complete different model,but the problem seems similar.go for an atomic ball diff(that is adjustable).

but why would a 8 tooth torque gear make the motor have no speed limit, and no torque, and it would do it for about 2 mins at a time. Also why would i be able to do wheelys with a 12 tooth speed gear, and have a really slow top speed?
