locky Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Order of wires not critical with brushless. If motor spins in reverse then just swap 2 wires around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shokka Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 For ref its usually, with the wires closest to you and the motor shaft facing away, ABC left to right. And on the esc the wires closest to you and battery wires the opposite side, ABC left to right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aka Capri boy Have you checked your gearbox? When the motor is out does it spin freely? Gear mesh between the pinion and spur all ok? And when you hold one rear wheel, and spin the other, is that all ok and smooth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a rear Tbone, I can't remember why I no longer have it lol. It didn't save the box, the problem is the strain that having the motor hanging way out back puts on the plastic support tabs. I seem to have solved the problem now, either one of those jumps would probably have resulted in a cracked case before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannot wait to get mine up and running, need to sell all the Yeti bits first though There are 4 screws holding the gearbox to the chassis, 2 from underneath and 2 from the top. The ones on the bottom kept stripping leaving only the top ones supporting the gearbox. I couldn't fit longer screws because the hole in the casing doesn't go all the way through so I simply drilled it out and fitted a longer screw. I also put washers under the top screws to spread the load and glued the casing to the rear brace to stop it flexing, any one of those things could have helped, or it could just be a big coincidence lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shokka Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 So I'm thinking of adding some weight to the front of my car as it's so weighted to the rear. Any tips / tricks for the best way to do it without strapping chunks of lead to it. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shokka Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 So i took it out today. Having power issues. The hw wp-sc8 says 2-4s lipo. I've set it to auto detect and i think my batteries are falling short power wise. Using a 4000mah zippy 30c 2s. I press full throttle and sometimes it just sluggishly jerks forward. I had this issue before with my old esc and a NiMH battery. Is it simple battery sag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
