Hi all, first time poster. Recently upgraded my Raider battery to a FLOUREON 2S2P 7.4V 6200mAh 40C.
Gave it a blast for around ten minutes and was loving it until smoke started appearing from the motor - never a good thing. Car now seems underpowered (unless the battery had drained) so suspect the motor is shot.
Questions for the more informed:
- is this battery too much for the standard motor to handle? Browsing various posts I figured it would be ok.
- if the answer to above is 'yes', any suggestions on a replacement upgraded motor?
Also, are the two wires from the standard motor meant to be joined as per attached photo, or have they seized together due to overheating? Hard for me to tell and I can't remember what it looked like out of the box.
Thanks in advance.
