GTX feels like something is slipping or motor not engaging?

ive had the GTX for about 3 weeks and rode it about 30 times. its awesome.

But sometimes when I accelerate it will feel like one motor isn't working or one side is slipping.

Anyone else have this happen?

yes my belts are tight. everything looks good.

 

It's a known fault, if you let off the trigger it usually works fine again. I don't know if there is any better solution

 

Yes , thank you . Cool
I wanted to make sure nothing broke

 

Lift the board up and accelerate and then brake
Repeat this procedure few times and every time u try use different highs and lows !!!

 

Why not do it while rolling? I haven't tried stopping and going through speeds just curious if its a more permanent fix as I usually ride 6 - 7km each time and it happens a couple of times per ride.

 

Happens to me as well mate i just release the triger and depress again sorts it out.

 

I ride GTX AT everyday love this board! Same thing happened to me a few times. With latest motor controller replacement which I purchased last month. Switched back to older motor controller no problem. New one fried shortly after doing speed spike on one side. It felt like either belt skipping or one motor (right side) gets higher voltage then other at full speed, it wobbles and stops after easing of trigger. Here is photo maybe some one can identify issue and we can find a way to prevent it in future. It is a bit scary and feels like it might throw you off. It randomly would happen. Looks like fried link on PCB first resistor on bottom right. I tried cleaning it and see if I can fix the link but no luck yet. Evolve support is great and they are replacing it for me. PCB has some high quality thermal paste and silicone conformal coating for water ressistance. Yes, I scraped it off mosfets for cooling.

 

I have the gen 3 controller.
And yeah it kicks out to one side (scary).
I ride fast all the time.

 

It does it alot now, probably 10 or 15 times every time i ride...

Should I get a new -control board-? Which one should I get?

 

it could be your style of riding. I feel like it happens if you full throttle then let go trigger completely and then push for full throttle again. But it happens less if you Full throttle and then not let off trigger completely and still have tension and throttle going or use slight break this way remote still communicating to the board.

Ok ill try that today and see, thanks .
I ride fast (GT) all the time.

 

I had this issue with my Bamboo GTX. Had it for about a month now and this issue happens to my left motor when accelerating in GT mode. Rarely happens when im on fast mode. Told evolve about the issue and they had me send the board to them. They stated that they will have a technician look at it because it is more than the motor causing the issue.

 

I think it has to do with the battery or battery sag. When you hit the throttle all the power goes to one motor...
