Hey Guys,

I hope am in the right place, if not, Mod please move to right place,if so. I am here for help with my Rc.


I am running 8 bolink eliminator with the following:

Note: I have 8 cars total
ESC :3 Castlewinder SV2 combo with Motor (4 Pole) it says 100,000 RPM MAX

ESC: 3 dynamite Fuze DYN3754

Receiver: 8 Futaba R203GF

Transmitter: 4 Futaba 3PRKA 2.4ghz

Battery: 6 - 7.4V 25C 5800mAH Lipo

Race Track: 1 Micro reality stock car racing size 24' X 24' X 24'


Problems I am having that I would like to address:

console #1 car # 1
ESC and MOTOR running hot after 10 or 15 min of running on 1 Castle
stops responding after a bit will go back and forth but with no steering after a while
Car going way too fast

Console 2 car 2

car glitching with lack of steering at times
car goes way to fast

Console 3 car 3
Car go way too fast
ESC and MOTOR running hot after 10 or 15 min of running on 1 Castle
No steering at all but steering
Steering dual rate when I turn it turns the wheel hard to one side

Console 4 car 4

Dynamite Fuse not responding at all only steering works but car does not go back and forth


and the other cars are only for backup.


1 problem I notice after going over manuals again is I did not calibrate transmitter with esc, I tried to follow the instructions, but no go.

Not sure how to go forward.

All parts a brand new and have only been installed and ran once thats when I discovered all of these problem.

Your help will greatly be appreciated

I am located in Kissimmee, Florida, if anyone is near and can assist me that would be great

Open to all ideas

I'm taking a shot in the dark here because I have never seen this setup before. But, since you replaced the motors, are you sure they are rated at the same voltage as the old motors? You say they are way too fast, and that has me thinking about voltage. The motors could be pulling too many amps from the ESC causing it to shut down and cause the steering issues you are describing.

Other than that, I'm clueless. but that is one sweet track and I would love to take a run on it some day.

LOL Thanks, If you were to see me at any events, please introduce yourself, and I would make sure you have a whirl.


As far as the motor is concern they are combo units, meaning all new electronics match up before purchase. The transmitter has a throttle control on it aswell as the ESC thru Castle link, however, I believe I am doing some adjusments wrong.

I would love for someone thats knows what they doing to instruct me.

Thanks and look forward to having fun fun fun!

Rod, what gearing are you pulling?
I ran a dragster with a 2s lipo, 6000mha, 50c ,motor was a 10000 kv, castle esc and burned the esc.
I got a 350 amp esc, and the wires desoldered after 2 sec. at full throttle.

I lowered my gearing (alot, like 20 teeth on the main, and wires just got warm.
But car went faster, and was quicker also. My car was to hi-geared.

Feel free to msg me
