Just trying power on and transmitter the red LED is not flashing off and on anymore on the receiver, but no idea if it would if the ESC or motor are buggered.

Iain .R Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Ok so friday the new chassis from jens arrived with some extras in the box so I'm well happy and many big thanks for the parts So I swapped over my parts from the busted carnage chassis to the new one Which at the start.when it was on the table it looked daunting. But I thought take it slow take off what.your all ready taken off before so that was the complete front end and then the back end which left the middle of the car So swapped that then added the NEW esc from jens to my carnage so out went the 20a in 60a esc . Once it was all set up time to see if it works and it does its ALIVE ha ha ha . So today decided to go out with the cars till I seen it bee snowing and ruddy freezing outside so iv been driving around the kitchen and hallway to spot my carange is twerking WTF . Why is my RC car shaking it a butt . Then I relise it's the back wheels looks like the barings in the back wheels are shot . I find been outside would not seen this but as its 2 ft away . So if orderd new barings carnage is in pit stop AGAIN ..... not told the mrs . Hope the snow stays a week till posty arrives . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Iain .R Posted February 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 13, 2021 Cheers guys and to think if you asked me this 3 months ago to swap a RC bits about it been no chance but now I feel very confident and its all down to you guys thank you . . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain .R Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Well as I said i swapped over the whole car to another chassis as my daughter crashed it . When i talen it apart i also spotted another breakage i forgot about . I found the part its £4.69 free post . Where the top plate screws into the gearbox housing there is two screws to hold the top.plate to the gearbox housing we one them screws has ripped the gearbox housing off . So it's only holding the top.plate to the gearbox housing with one screw . So.now I got to strip that down to get to change the broken housing case. Which is all the cogs so again incentive done it I'll feel more confident but at.the moment its aaagagagghhhhh . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jens Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) Can I change the mood to something positive? :-) Just finished assembling my spare Carnage... A nice Hobbywing Max10 60A Combo with a brushless motor. First test run with 2S Lipos in the kitchen went nice. No cogging at all. And it's powerful. Almost bashed into the kitchen cabinet. Tomorrow the new smaller 3S Lipos will arrive. The old one's I bought were too large and couldn't fit. Lucky I could still return them. The new one's have the same measurements as my 2S Lipos. They will surely fit. But I am facing an issue with the transmitter and receiver. Sometimes the signal from the transmitter arrives at the receiver with a 2-5 second delay. It's the stock Etronix set. Does anybody has a similar experience? An hopefully a solution... :-) Edited February 13, 2021 by Jens 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jens Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 @DavidBH: Did you solve your problem with the battery size?

TRX Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Hi guys was wondering if you could help me confirm the picture is indeed a broken FTX6325? Does anybody know of a better solution as this is breaking far too easily? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The battery will arrive within the hour. Will try then and post a picture. Got a Hobbywing EZRUN Max10 ESC in a combo with a 3652SL 4000KV motor: https://www.modelsport.co.uk/index.php?product_id=420923 or https://www.hobbywingdirect.com/collections/combo-special/products/ezrun-max10-combo?variant=27757683857 First test run with 2S this morning in the front yard was very promising. Got a really good punch and speed. No cogging at all!! Better than the stock Carnage/Bugsta brushless combo. But I am worried that 3S will be destructive to the drive train. But I will see this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jens Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) Just went for the first test run with the 3S Lipos in the muscle Carnage at the nearby sports field. Awesome power!!! Even when the throttle is at 50% I could still do wheelies. But it is not easy to control the car. I need to step up on my skill levels. My kiddo on the other is already at the higher skill level. He just enjoyed that power. But then the fun was cut short. The pinion went loose despite using threadlocker: And while he enjoyed the Carnage I wrecked his Bugsta. Shell and wheelie bar broken. Man, is he angry with me now... Back home, back in the pit stop. Edited February 14, 2021 by Jens 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much. 25mm max. I searched a lot and there are not many 3S that fit into a Carnage. Amazon had just 2. One with 3300mAh and the other I bought (see above).

I took a closer look at my pinion. I ordered the hardened steel set from David at ebay. And guess what, it was the Vantage version with the 17 teeth pinion. Carnage/Bugsta have 12 teeth. No wonder the Carnage was flying across the field. Since we prefer punch over speed I just ordered a 10 & 12 teeth pinion with the same pitch.

Yep. And now he wants a clear shell and me painting it like Herbie. But I don't know how to paint a shell!!... I blame it now on the El Cheapo threadlocker.
