hi all

after running my tigger for about an hour or so today i checked the voltage of both batts each and then linked which i dont normally do and found something odd or maybe not i'm not sure :? , one read 12+volts and the other 7+volts, then linked they read 19+volts at the motors this is not right is it ? shorley the batts should run down evenly together, i have noticed she runs slower than she did 4+mph. speed controllers are set at full. :?

any ideas

thanks

Hello Colin

It sounds like you have a duff battery.Try puuting a full charge on both and then check the voltage after a week.
