Default cheap esc... ***!!!

http://www.hobbypeople.net/gallery/159210.asp

bought this for my sb sprt.. thinking that i could use it for my 4wheeler... WRONG.... this esc sucks.. the take off is extremely slow atleast not for what i expected for a 11x2 motor... can anyone tell me why this is.. looking t the specs.. so i know not to buy something similar to it again.. thanks..

Are you sure it's the ESC? Did you try another motor? Could be gearing too.

well im limited on gearing,, it the sb sport.. i have the smallest pinion i could put on there.. and this isnt the only motor that it has done this to.. chamleon2 pro 19t a orion 12t and now my speed gem 11x2... i have been told i have a punch control on this thing,, but i havent seen it on set up.. i really dont know what to do,, take off isnt what i thought it would be,, nor what im used to from my other (now non-op) esc,, tekin g-10.....

i lost my manual so im thinking that maybe im doing something wrong,, not sure though..

your battery pack might be bad or isn't charged.

@jaejw1 ,
try to visit the mtronics website and download the manual. the traction control [punch control] seems to be set too "loose". thats my best guess for the moment. hope that helps.

mtronisk is the best esc ever made hands down, ive used a few of them and they are the best esc i have ever used, you definitly shouldnt have lost the manual so that was not a smart move on your part, it simply needs to be setup to what you want it to do before you will get some off the line throttle,
