PC Lacking Power

[DaveT435]

I don't think anyone uses less than speed 6 with larger pads. You can get away with 4 or 5 while using 4" pads. It's the nature of the beast. Do you feel that it has lost power since your previous "3 or 4 corrections"?

I also think 6 inch pads are a little too large. 5.5 is about the max. I use them with no problem.

Let us know how it turns out.

Yeah I think I will stick with 5.5" pads, but this was happening on a 5"
Megs MF pad, and I just didn't want to use speed 6 with them bc of the heat, I tired using speed 5 as much as I could. But any pressure at all and the pad would stop rotating.

Every time I read about this it reminds me of RC Car Racing days.
My thoughts are what we might perceive is a 'flattening' of the Power Band.
When new, the Electric Motors haul ass. After they settle in they kind'a flat line.

Anyone familiar with this might concur. The Brushes get Carbond up, the
Armature gets a glaze / wear spot so to say and the slots fill with spent Brush.

Constant maintenance was to take them apart, clean or replace the brushes
and re-face / true the Armature on a little mini Lathe, clean out the timing slots.
They would really scoot again for a couple of races and then...

Just my ramble. At some point I'll pull the PC apart and see if this could be the case.

I will try doing that! Seeing if anything is loose or connections aren't making contact or something! Thanks!
