ghazghul Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Took Maverick Scout on holiday. Found a great spot next to where staying with rocks across and a stream with a sandy hill. The LIPO didn't last as long as expected. Tested again when got home and found LIPO cut off was kicking in with ~3.8V / cell still in them according to multi meter and Accucel. Went to install Losi Xcelorin software to check setting and remembered no 64 bit OS support as Losi claim no driver available from the manufacturer of the chip used... an hour later and I hacked in a newer driver for the chip ( SILAB 2102 ) on the USB adapter and a new .dll for the Losi SW and I have it running on Win7 64 Only problem is that it seems to be correctly set at 3V / cell. Have flashed settings back into ESC and will test again when the rain stops. If still cutting early I'll put it in nimh mode and manually set the cutoff. Also grabbed the two spare Losi 1/10 ESC I had bought cheap as spares / repairs and found they both are fine just had old firmware and bad throttle curves programmed.

Brandon Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Took the wr8 out for another thrash! Usually the temps on the motor are at a safe level but since this heat, I'm getting a lot hotter temps so I think it's time to get rid of some speed and lower the teeth a little.

atom3624 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 The old Losi Raminator, LST2 specification, then converted some time ago to 6S LiPo with 1717 motor has been sporting some bright alloy wheels for some time. Thing is, the wheels are decent MT replica wheels, and the original Raminator wheels are red with a yellow line. Photo indicating original wheels: Photo showing - really nice, but 'wrong look' - alloy wheels - MGT tyres (all I could find at the time but decent): Wheels cleaned, masked, etch primed, then painted: Need to allow the paint to fully dry, mask the exterior and hand paint the yellow - perhaps tomorrow, or perhaps next 'rainy day'.

Al. They look alright. If you want I got some traxxas 5 spoke gemini (rims only) 14mm hex, chrome worn off, might look decent if painted Just in need of some 3.8 tyres + inserts.

atom3624 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 No, thanks all the same. Got loads of 'original' Raminator wheels for bashing. Just thought this was an opportunity to bring the alloys up to the 'Raminator look'. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
